A prosecutor fights a drug trafficker—and his own heroin addiction—in this thriller from a winner of the Dashiell Hammett Prize and Arthur Ellis Award.
Lawyer Foster Cobb’s objective is to bring down the mysterious Dr. Au, responsible for the drugs that flow through Vancouver. But under the pressure of a disintegrating career and marriage, Cobb himself has himself taken up a long-abandoned heroin habit.
With a racing plot and dramatic twists, Needles plunges into a seedy 1970s underworld of crooked cops, Asian drug lords, and tense courtroom scenes. A winner of the Seal First Novel Prize, it’s a riveting tale of crime and justice with “surprises like shattering glass” (Philadelphia Bulletin), from an author who has sold over a million copies.
“Spellbinding, first-rate.” —The Buffalo News
