Hedonism : A Novel
In New York, in the early 90s, Hedonism is the city's top dance club. When top DJ Skippy winds up in hospital in a coma, the victim of a mugging, his best friend Holy decides to solve the crime himself. Hedonism is a fast action trip through a hardcore underworld of hip dance music, S&M sex and mountains of illegal drugs. It's a world at odds with normality, where no-one sleeps and everyone is a suspect. It's a world populated by glamorous models, body-pierced dancers and heartless villains.
