- Violence look's good on you. :: PATRICK BATEMAN

Manhattan, 1989.

The city worships appearances. Designer suits, perfect reservations, cocaine dusted parties hidden inside penthouses overlooking the skyline ..every person clawing for status while maybe pretending not to care. Nobody notices the blood beneath manicured fingernails if the Rolex is expensive enough.

Patrick Bateman understands this better than anyone. At twenty-seven, Patrick has perfected the art of imitation. Investment banker by day, 'polished socialite' by night, maybe a monster underneath it all. BUT- his life is a carefully choreographed performance of expensive tastes and empty conversations, where nobody listens closely enough to realize there's something deeply wrong behind his rehearsed smile.

In which, Vivienne Laurent arrives.

Elegant, Untouchable, observant.

She moves through Manhattan's elite circles like she owns them, well...She certainly does. Men want her instantly. Women want to become her. Patrick wants to understand why she looks at him like she already knows every terrible thing he's ever done...Perhaps.

Because Vivienne Laurent is not frightened by him...She's clearly fascinated.

Behind closed doors, beneath the glow of restaurant chandeliers and the hum of late night city streets, Patrick discovers something infinitely more dangerous than being exposed: being understood. Vivienne is just as cruel, just as obsessive, and perhaps even more than he is!.

Together, they become Manhattan's perfect couple...Beautiful. Wealthy. Untouchable.

And absolutely deranged.

As their relationship deepens, so does the destruction surrounding them, bodies disappear. Alibis overlap. Jealousy turns vicious.

But monsters were never made to love.
