Bookroo's summary

In 1980s Manhattan, Patrick Bateman is the epitome of success by day, but his nights reveal a chilling darkness. As a Wall Street professional, he navigates the elite social scene, yet harbors a terrifying secret: a penchant for murder. This gripping tale explores the depths of madness and the facade of normalcy, challenging the boundaries of sanity and society. What horrors lie beneath the surface of a seemingly perfect life, and how long can they remain hidden?
