Summary
Chase Insteadman, a handsome, inoffensive fixture on Manhattan's social scene, lives off residuals earned as a child star. Capitalizing on the rapturous and heartbreaking love letters he receives from his teenage sweetheart and fiancee, he lives a life of cloistered ease, that is until a pop critic, Perkus Tooth, with a conspiratorial countercultural savvy and a voracious paranoia force Chase to confront the answers to several mysteries tightly intertwined within the tragic fabric of the city itself.
