The Informers — Bret Easton Ellis

In this seductive and chillingly nihilistic novel, Bret Easton Ellis, bestselling author of American Psycho, returns to Los Angeles, the city whose moral badlands he first surveyed in Less Than Zero. His characters go to the same schools and eat at the same restaurants. They have sex with the same boys and girls and buy their drugs from the same dealers. And their interactions delineate a chilling, fascinating, and outrageous descent into the abyss beneath the gorgeous surfaces of L.A.
