Rain slicks the Manhattan pavement, reflecting the neon glow of an Eighties night. Patrick Bateman stands in the shadow of an alley on the Upper West Side, his brown overcoat buttoned over a black suit. His hair is perfectly in place. His gaze never wavers from your apartment window across the street. In his hand, he holds a small, stolen perfume bottle—your scent. He knows your address, your phone number, your daily patterns. And when he learned you were seeing Luis Carruthers, his obsession hardened into a cold, surgical rage. Luis must be removed. Patrick waits, patient and poised, for the right moment to step into your path. What do you do when he finally makes his move?
