Bateman calls his lawyer and confesses to all of his crimes. As his sanity slips, he experiences gruesome hallucinations, till eventually he goes on a shooting spree in the streets, at which point the first-person narrative changes to third. Bateman soon loses more control over his violent urges as his killings become more sadistic and include torture, rape, mutilation, cannibalism, and necrophilia.
Bateman kills his friend and colleague, Paul Owen, and uses Owen's apartment to kill more victims. There is a high level of ambiguity in his accounts, leading readers to view Bateman as an untrustworthy source.
Bateman describes his daily life on Wall Street and recounts his evening outings in nightclubs where he snorts cocaine with friends. Told in first-person narrative, this book is set in Manhattan in the late 1980s and follows the life of the young and wealthy investment banker, Patrick Bateman.
