Book excerpt: A deadly new drug has hit the streets of Scarmouth, one which turns users into bloodthirsty maniacs with superhuman tolerance for pain. Through insidious design a large quantity has fallen into the hands of squatters occupying the derelict Victoria cliff hotel. It's a bad place for a group of woke, virtue-signalling social media influencers to promote their new homeless charity, but they've got a PR story in the making. One of their party is searching for a long-lost sister and if they can find her they believe the stunt could bring them international attention. Rhonda Caine doesn't care at all about the group's motives. She just wants to find her sister. The girl's been missing for weeks now and her life had been on a steady decline for a long time before that. She's not the only one looking for something. Hired muscle, Fred and Pinkie have been tasked to recover that lost drug shipment. They know what it's doing to people. What they don't know is just how many have been affected already, but within the bowels of that derelict hotel breeds a mindless, homicidal legion. Scarmouth is known as the coastal town they forgot to burn down. It'll only take a few hot doses to finally set it alight.
