Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Brets obsession with Mallory is equaled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with the Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting themand Bret in particularwith grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. The coincidences are uncanny, but they are also filtered through the imagination of a teenager whose gifts for constructing narrative from the filaments of his own life are about to make him one of the most explosive literary sensations of his generation. Can he trust his friendsor his own mindto make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, he spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between the Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision.\n\nSet against the intensely vivid and nostalgic backdrop of pre-Less Than Zero L.A., The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction, the real and the imagined, that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Brets life at seventeensex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting, and often darkly funny, The Shards is Ellis at his inimitable best.","currency_symbol":"UYU","price":"990","is_offer":0,"old_price":"0","stock":"4.000","sizeChartFileURL":"","files":[{"height":1200,"width":821,"file_type_id":1,"url":"\/files\/tmp\/uncompressed\/ots8v67kldhsp9c19oqx.jpg","thumbnail_url":"\/files\/tmp\/uncompressed\/ots8v67kldhsp9c19oqx.jpg"}],"specIds":["",""],"badgeFileUrl":"","customizableFields":[]}]
