One man delves into the depths of society in search of the truth...

Gang warfare and drug crime are at the heart of this gripping thriller by Philip Caveney.

Manchester approaching the millennium is a city coming apart at the seams. Infested with Rag Men - the growing army of the homeless - and terrorised by violent crime, it's also succumbing to the delights of Warp, a new designer hallucinogenic with horrific side-effects. When ex-cop Will Ambrose's son Martin dies after taking the drug, Ambrose is determined to discover who controls its supply. He enters the world of the Rag Men, who peddle Warp on the streets, and finds himself sucked into a lawless, brutal society. But the domain of the Rag Men conceals an even more terrifying reality, and soon Will is on a bad trip that leads down into the sewers, where a whole new level of horror awaits him as a bizarre cult prepares for its final sacrifice...
