Please join the conversation on my Blog, wesdemott.wordpress.com, a place for writers to work on their craft together

I am the author of 6 published books, with a 7th on the way. One book, first published as hardcover under the title "Vapors", found its way in paperback as "The Fund" and was translated into Czech ("Stiny"), Hungarian "(Arnyak"), and Russian, where it became an itnernational best-seller. The same novel also won the IPPY Gold award for best new Suspense/thriller. The e-format rights to all my books have now been bought by Admiral House Publishing, where you can purchase them.  All my books are also available at the Kindle Store and at the B&N Nook Books.

<p style="margin:0px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>&quot;A somber, disturbing mystery fused with a scathing look at the fashion industry. </strong><strong>Mangin writes in a confident, razor-edged style.&quot;</strong><strong> - Kirkus Reviews</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Condom dresses and space helmets have debuted on fashion runways.</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">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.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">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.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">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?</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 0px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>In high fashion modeling, selling bodies is organized crime.</strong></p>

Story Behind The Book

Robert Ludlum was a gracious man who hosted the launch party for my second thriller, Vapors. Although we shared a genre, my books were more political than his, at least until The Typhoon Sanction, which I wrote as my homage to Robert and the final step in my own transition from thrillers to adventure novels. Although I've had good success with three previous thrillers, I wrote The Typhoon Sanction as though Ludlum was looking over my shoulder. I think I succeeded in creating a story he would have loved to read.
