Børsmægleren Patrick Bateman har masser af penge og masser af dyre vaner. Han arbejder ved Pierce & Pierce på Wall Street. Han er også psykopat og slipper afsted med flere mord. Lange passager med analyser af rockgrupper, lange smører om dyrt tøj, dyre ure, dyre restauranter veksler med sex og mord og drab på både bekendte og nogle helt tilfældige, fx en lille dreng i zoologisk have eller en hjemløs.
Til sidst slutter historien med ikke at slutte, men blot fortsætte. Det hele er fortalt af Patrick Bateman, så om han virkeligt har begået alle uhyrlighederne eller det hele bare er en drøm?
Mærkelig bog.… (mere)
