A chain of events sparked by a murder in a cemetery sends tattoo artist Lestari Cassidy into the orbit of an unpredictable drug.

Its connection to several deaths amongst the local transient community, along with the uncovering of illegal clinical trials in the 1980s, sends her a clear message: stay away.

Then tragedy strikes close to home and she needs to do something, and fast.

An audacious and inventive debut novel set in the streets of Auckland.
