A stunning international thriller and a wild, compulsive ride into the greedy vortex of modern life.
Imagine a drug that made your brain function to its full potential.
A drug that allowed you pick up a foreign language in a single day.
A drug that helped you process information so fast you could see patterns in the stock market.
Just as his life is fading into mediocrity, Eddie Spinola comes across such a pill: MDT-48 - a sort of Viagra for the brain. But while its benefits materialise quickly, so do certain unwelcome side-effects. And when Eddie decides to track down other users, he soon discovers that they're all dying, or already dead...
Alan Glynn is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, where he studied English Literature, and has worked in magazine publishing in New York and as an EFL teacher in Italy. His debut novel, The Dark Fields, was released in 2011 as the hit movie Limitless, which went to #1 on both sides of the Atlantic, and became a hit CBS network show. His other novels include Bloodland, the Irish Crime Fiction Book of the Year in 2011, also nominated for an Edgar, and Paradime, described in the Guardian as a 'wheels-within-wheels conspiracy novel both insidious and ingenious'. He is married with two children and lives in Dublin.
