Condom dresses and space helmets have debuted on fashion runways. A dead body becomes the trend when a coat made of human skin saunters down fashion’s biggest stage. The body is identified as Annabelle Leigh, the teenager who famously disappeared over a decade ago from her boyfriend’s New York City mansion. This new evidence casts suspicion back on the former boyfriend, Cecil LeClaire. Now a monk, he is forced to return to his dark and absurd childhood home to clear his name. He teams up with Ava Germaine, a renegade ex-model. And together, they investigate the depraved and lawless modeling industry behind Cecil’s family fortune. 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami The All of It by Jeannette Haien American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner Bats of the Republic by Zachary Thomas Dodson Blindness by Jose Saramago Bloodchild by Octavia Butler The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi The Bone People by Keri Hulme Boy Toy by Barry Lyga The City and the City by China Mieville Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell The Color Of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J.
