The invention of sound / Chuck Palahniuk.

Palahniuk, Chuck, (author.).

Summary:

A FATHER'S DECADES-LONG SEARCH FOR HIS MISSING DAUGHTER. A YOUNG WOMAN ABOUT TO ENGINEER THE PERFECT SCREAM. THE MOST DANGEROUS SECRET HOLLYWOOD HAS EVER KEPT. Gates Foster lost his daughter, Lucy, seventeen years ago. He's never stopped searching. Suddenly, a shocking new development provides Foster with his first major lead in over a decade, and he may finally be on the verge of discovering the awful truth. Meanwhile, Mitzi Ives has carved out a space among the Foley artists creating the immersive sounds giving Hollywood films their authenticity. Using the same secret techniques as her father before her, she's become an industry-leading expert in the sound of violence and horror, creating screams so bone-chilling they may as well be real. Soon Foster and Ives find themselves on a collision course that threatens to expose the violence hidden beneath Hollywood's glamorous facade. -- Provided by dustjacket.
