Beskrivelse
Three food processing industries managers are mysteriously murdered in the USA and Europe. A fashion photographer and one of his ex model, who were involved at the end of the Nineties in a famous advertising campaign for animal protection, investigate. In their investigation, they will cross the way of two other well-known models, from Florida to California, Brazil and South Africa to the center of Africa, at the heart of darkness.
Between crime and fantasy, a novel on fashion, the author is a worldwide famous expert, but also on animals, the United States, Africa, and the world today with its tensions and stakes.

Helter Skelter is a riveting thriller that intertwines the fashion world with ecological and social issues. The mysterious murders of three agro-industry leaders in the USA and Europe, unsolved by national police and the FBI, kickstart an investigation by an unusual duo: a fashion photographer and one of his former models, connected by a past highlighted by a landmark animal rights advertising campaign.
Their investigation takes them on a journey across a broad geographical spectrum, from Florida and California in the USA to South Africa and the remote regions of East Africa, exploring themes of corruption and ecological activism through the lens of the fashion industry and the fight for animal rights. Helter Skelter delves into the darkest aspects of the human soul and the closely guarded secrets of the food industry.
This thriller highlights the complexity of the links between fashion aesthetics, environmental issues, and power dynamics, while implicitly critiquing the exploitation of animals and humans. The choice of protagonists from the fashion world- an area well-known to author Frederic Monneyron through his forty works on the subject-yet committed to an ecological cause, underscores the possibility of redemption and active engagement against injustices, making Helter Skelter both entertaining and deeply thoughtful.
