About

Tommy Rodriguez is no stranger to questioning conventional wisdom. Having spent most of his life overcoming his own internal demons, Tommy learned a thing or two about his religion that eventually sent him spiraling down a path of dissension and doubt. A big believer in education, Tommy hopes to one day be instrumental in propagating scientific awareness, the pursuit of truth and skeptical inquiry.

Description

<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>

Rodriguez goes toe-to-toe with religion using reason, logic, history and science to give religion a punch in the face. He talks about the inconsistencies of intelligent design and flaws that are in the Bible and the Quran. If your looking for a great argument/debate when it comes to religion and God(s), then look no further. If your a pious person, be prepared to be challenged because Rodriguez comes from all angles making solid, hard-core points. For the science lovers, the author's scientific research is accurate, in-depth and meticulously done.<br /></span></span></p> <p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing:0px;font:medium 'Times New Roman';text-transform:none;color:#000000;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;border-collapse:separate;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing:0px;font:medium 'Times New Roman';text-transform:none;color:#000000;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;border-collapse:separate;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing:0px;font:medium 'Times New Roman';text-transform:none;color:#000000;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;border-collapse:separate;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Very insightful</strong>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>February 17, 2011<br /><br /></span></span>The author obviously did his homework and research. The book is captivating and if read with an open mind will really open your eyes to facts and possibilities you may have formed unrealstic opinions about in the past.
