Paris Match

A twisty, binge-y novel of art, sex, fashion, and murder, a delicious game of cat and mouse across the arrondissements of Paris, where every form of beauty is for sale Nothing is more interesting than a person with something to hide. "Thrilling, deliciously sordid, full of beauty and heartbreak. A deeply propulsive novel about desperation and innocence lost, it is also a remarkably tender love story. Ravishing in every way, Paris Match is Bollen's best book yet." “In Paris Match, Bollen brilliantly considers murder as one of the fine arts. What an engrossing, utterly pleasurable, and morally complex novel this is. A beautiful nightmare from which I did not want to wake up.” "A delight for its wry observation, its witty asides, its knowing descriptions of being a gay American in Paris. But it is also a finely-tuned murder mystery. We know from the opening sentence who did it, the tension and excitement come in what happens next.” A twenty-three-year-old American in Paris, Fin's luck is running out. He's been living off his wits and beauty, but his visa has expired and he can't go home to Ohio, where haunting memories await.
