'A Density Of Souls' is the story of four young friends in New Orleans whose lives are pulled in drastically different directions when they enter high school. Meredith, Brandon, Stephen and Greg, once inseparable, are torn apart by envy, secret passion and rage.
They quickly discover the fragile boundaries between friendship and betrayal as they form new allegiances: Brandon and Greg gain popularity as jocks and Meredith joins the bulimic in-crowd, while fragile Stephen is treated as an outcast and is the target of homophobia in a school that viciously mocks him.
Their struggles are fuelled by generations of feuds and secrets hoarded within their opulent Garden District homes, and soon two violent deaths disrupt the core of what they once shared.
Five years later the four friends are drawn together as new facts about their mutual history are revealed. . . and what was held to be a tragic accident is discovered to be murder. As the true story emerges, other secrets begin to unravel and the casual cruelties of high school develop into acts of violence that threaten an entire city.
Bold, richly plotted and gripping, 'A Density Of Souls' is a stunning debut novel.
