The Vicious Novel

📖 The Scoop

London in a disturbingly near future is falling apart, rotting from inside, broken in too many ways to fix. In this trash-heap of a once-proud city, Inspector Marshall Harland of the Special Detection Division 5, is tasked with the hopeless fight against runaway crime.

Harland has always been up to it, and in SDD5, he doesn't have to worry about those nit-picking regulations to which the regular police have to adhere. He doesn't care if he has to skirt the law himself to get the job done, nor is he afraid to benefit from the perks which are always readily available.

He's even got away, when the victim merited it, with a Novel: a murder which can't be pursued because there were no witnesses or useful clues, but he's about to learn that even he cannot do whatever he wants, not if it means crossing The Skein.

Suddenly he's on the outside, on the run from both The Skein and from his own Metro Police Force. He was determined to bring them all down, but he might have finally bitten-off more than he can chew without choking on it.

His only ally in a world lacking any morality, is a teenage female he can't get enough of. She's someone who's as single-minded as he, who's just as deadly, and who seems to be as hot for him as he is for her. She's like no one he's ever met.

She seems to want to help, but can he trust a woman, especially one he hardly knows? Can he even get along with her when he's so used to going it alone and treating women like they have no more utility or value than a disposable sex toy? One way or another, she will teach him, even if he can only learn the hard way.

Warning:

THIS IS A VIOLENT AND BRUTAL NOVEL FOR MATURE ADULT READERS ONLY.

If it were a movie it would be rated R and maybe even X, because this evil world is an Rx for trouble.
