“A somber, disturbing mystery fused with a scathing look at the fashion industry. Mangin writes in a confident, razor-edged style.” — Kirkus Reviews

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.

They find erotic canes, pet rats living in crystal castles, and dresses made of crushed butterfly wings. But Cecil finds more truth in the luxury goods than in the people themselves. Everyone he meets seems to be wearing a person-suit. Terrified of showing their true selves, the glitterati put on flamboyant public personas to make money and friends. Can Cecil find truth in a world built on lies?

In high fashion modeling, selling bodies is organized crime.

    I’ll say it again. I’m in love with God. I believe we’re animals, yes. We have the potential to sin. But we should strive to be civilized. Strive to be excellent. Strive to learn. Strive to build real things

    Time never moved forward, nor could it ever move back.

    Perdonna’s art was beauty in excess. It was anything but modest.
    Yet isn’t beauty the most godly thing of all?
