There is a new drug on the mean streets of Manchester which promises the most intense week of your life, and then you are dead--and after he watches a pop star die on stage, Adam thinks that his own life is so miserable that he might just as well try it.

Review of 'The hit' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This book really got it right, somehow. The youth was credible, the city believable, and most of all the tone of the work was actually quite enthralling. It's a book tackling very big and complex issues and would be well worth introducing in education settings, aside from being a rather fantastic story.
