  Meet Vanessa Salomon, a privileged and misanthropic French-American translator hailing from a wealthy Parisian family. 
  Her twin sister is a famous movie star, which Vanessa resents deeply and daily. The only man Vanessa ever loved recently killed himself by jumping off the roof of her building. It’s a full life.Vanessa has just started working on an English translation of a titillating, experimental thriller by a dead author when she’s offered a more prominent gig: translating the latest book by an Extremely Famous French Writer who is not in any way based on Michel Houellebecq. As soon as she agrees to meet this writer, however, her other, more obscure project begins to fight back—leading Vanessa down into a literary hell of traps and con games and sadism and doppelgangers and mystic visions and strange assignations and, finally, the secret of life itself.Peppered with “sponsored content” providing cocktail recipes utilizing a brand of liquor imported by the film director Steven Soderbergh, and with a cameo from the actress Juno Temple, Bad Eminence is at once an old-school literary satire in the mode of Vladimir Nabokov as well as a jolly thumb in the eyes of contemporary screen-life and digital celebrity.

  Aries: 
  I kept my distance to protect her. My little stepsister with wide eyes and soft smiles—too innocent for a world like mine. But while I was locked away in darkness, he took my place. My name. My life. Her. Now I’m back. And I’ll burn this world to the ground to get it all back—even if she’s afraid of what I’ve become. 
   
  Lilian: 
  I was never meant to matter this much. Not to one brother—let alone two. Aries was my almost. The stepbrother I shouldn’t have loved. Arson was the secret. The lie no one warned me about . . . until it was too late. They hate each other. Always have. Always will. But now I’m gone, and the only way to get me back is to work together. Two monsters. One obsession. And when they find me, the war between them won’t stop. It’ll just turn inward—because saving me might be the one thing that breaks them both. 
   
  Arson: 
  I was never supposed to have a name. He was the golden one. I was the shadow they buried. But then she looked at me—and didn’t run. She saw my brother’s face and wanted me. And I wanted her. Twisted. Pure. Off-limits. Mine. Now she’s been taken, and for the first time in our broken, blood-soaked lives, Aries and I want the same thing. We’ll burn the world to bring her back. And when we do . . . We’ll see which of us she survives.
