D.I. Johnny Mann and his new team of Global Organised Crime fighters are sent to a bombing in Thailand where terrorism is ruled out in favour of drug wars. There they discover a new and deadly drug hitting the streets - Crazies. It's more potent than any other and cheaper than a can of cola. A Super Syndicate of crime bosses is behind it. Johnny Mann's team pursues them from Thailand to the streets of Ireland in a race against time to find and destroy the Crazies threat before it takes over the world.
Not my usual genre but I have known Lee and her family since she was a few years old. They were family to me and still are. Lee left England soon after we did, working in Sweden, Germany and then to Hong Kong where she worked in night clubs eventually after getting hooked on drugs including heroine, she was abducted by triad gang and was lucky to escape back to England. After rearing two kids she discovered her husband had been living a double life and had two other kids with a Chinese woman. She started writing as a cathartic exercise based on her experiences. Her novels are about that world with a detective as the hero. Her dad was a detective, a great and charismatic character who would dominate any room he entered along with his beautiful wife who I still keep in touch with. This book kept me hooked the whole way through and could well be a turned into a movie or a series. Lee has a successful restaurant with her son in Devon and is involved with efforts to stop international sex trafficking and is involved with west of England rape crisis centers. Her sister Claire spends time each year in Nepal teaching nursing and midwifery, setting up stations where the Nepali community can get treatments. A great family. Lee has several books that she has written and is well known in England.
