Description

Investigative journalist Terry Nelson is divorced, depressed and disillusioned.

He has abandoned his career to smoke copious amounts of crack cocaine and engage in meaningless sex in order to reach 'pleasure's cutting edge'.

Obsessed with the beautiful yet vapid Paula, Terry is soon drawn into a shadowy underworld to fund their growing drug habits.

Mikey, a Jamaican gangster, befriends Terry and recruits him as a driver for drug deals.

This allows Terry access to large amounts of crack cocaine, as well as information about the local drugs scene. Peterfield - a once prosperous manufacturing hub in the North of England - has descended into extreme urban decay and become a place where the residents turn to sex and drugs to escape their dead-end, mundane existence.

Drug dealers supplied by international crime gangs are only too pleased to meet the population's needs and regenerate the area to further line their pockets.

Terry is convinced the gangs are led by a mysterious figure - Bonique. Who is Bonique? This is the question that haunts Terry and threatens to destroy his life. As Terry searches for contacts to Bonique his life becomes increasingly violent and leads him to question the path he haschosen. A vigilante group is increasingly active, targeting suspected drug dealers and criminals plaguing Peterfield.

Who are theyand who are they led by?Terry's relationship with his mother and father is very strained.

Why is his father so distant? Does the reason involve anunidentified girl Terry witnessed arguing with his father when he was in his teens?

Terry struggles to piece together any strands of information that might yield an answer. A Government Task Force arrives in Peterfield to break the drug gangs' hold on the city.

Terry's involvement with drugsis taken advantage of by the organisation for information.

The cash he's paid keeps his drug habit financed. Terry's TaskForce handler, Mark, is reluctant to share information and appears to be hiding something. Can Terry pull together all the pieces and soothe his growing obsessions? Or will he lose control of the forces pulling him in the wrong direction, causing harm to himself and his family?
