Description

"A somber, disturbing mystery fused with a scathing look at the fashion industry. Mangin writes in a confident, razor-edged style." - Kirkus ReviewsCondom dresses and space helmets have debuted on fashion runways.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.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.They find erotic canes, pet rats living in crystal castles, and dresses made of crushed butterfly wings.

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?In high fashion modeling, selling bodies is organized crime.

Story Behind The Book

Why I wrote Start With Why: I am an optimist. I believe that if everyone woke up and only did the things that inspire them, what an amazing world we’d live in. If we look at the companies, civil leaders and organizations who truly lead, we can find vast numbers of people who stand with them, inspired by something bigger than themselves. Those who love their Apple computers, for example, are proud to be a part of Apple’s revolution. Those who tattoo a Harley-Davidson logo on their bodies are proud to be a part of Harley’s cause. Great leaders, be they individuals or organizations, inspire us to be a part of something larger than ourselves. But what does it take to be a great leader? What does it take to inspire? As it turns out, even though some may have a natural gift for it, the ability to inspire can be learned. The discovery: Looking at the leaders and organizations that have an unbalanced amount of influence in the world – the most loyal customers, the most loyal employees, the most profitable, the most innovative and, most importantly, able to sustain all those things for the long term – I discovered that they all think, act and communicate the exact same way…and it’s the complete opposite of everyone else. All I did was codify it. And I call it the Golden Circle. The book, Start With Why, shares this naturally occurring pattern in a way that is actionable. Others can learn how to be as innovative as Apple. Others can learn to generate loyalty like Harley-Davidson. And others can learn to rally thousands of people like Martin Luther King.

Reviews

“Start with Why is one of the most useful and powerful books I have read in years. Simple and elegant, it shows us how leaders should lead. Highly recommended!” —William Ury, coauthor of Getting to Yes; cofounder ofThe Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School “Start with Why fanned the flames inside me. It translates what we used in the military into terms any organization can apply; the principles are the same. This book can lead you to levels of excellence you never considered attainable.” —General Chuck Horner, air boss, Desert Storm “Start with Why will cause you to rethink your business. It is a great read and exactly on target. This book will inspire you.”—Howard Putnam, former CEO, Southwest Airlines;speaker and author of The Winds of Turbulence “Start with Why is a powerful and penetrating exploration of what separates great companies and great leaders from the rest. Too many leaders (and authors) go looking for authenticity in all the wrong places—Sinek takes you directly to the source.”—Polly LaBarre, coauthor of Mavericks at Work “Start with Why offers a simple and pragmatic approach to great leadership. Each story will force you to see things from an entirely different perspective. A perspective that is nothing short of the truth.”—Mokhtar Lamani, former ambassador, special envoyto Iraq and ambassador, permanent observer to the UN
