Description

Oliver Vice's life has ended in mystery, leaving behind only questions. His friend and narrator sets out to uncover the truth about his past, tracing a complex web of family secrets and lies. As the investigation unfolds, the narrator delves into Oliver's history, revealing a tangled family legacy marked by both fascination and obsession. The story takes him on a journey from New York to London, Budapest to Portugal, in pursuit of answers that may be more elusive than he ever imagined. Through it all, the narrator is forced to confront his own ambivalence about life, identity, and the nature of truth. A darkly humorous tale of family, art, and obsession, The Vices is a gripping exploration of the human condition.
