The story of a drug-addicted, increasingly paranoid undercover cop who is asked to spy on himself. Dark, twisty and unflinching.

Dick explores the confusion and intransigent apathy of drug culture in an imagined future that seems close enough. His style of blending concurrent realities makes for an engaged read that keeps you on your toes.

Haunting and still edgy but the messy and confusing prose makes for an unsatisfying read

A tippy adventure through a surreal vision of our world. A great underlying storyline keeps things flowing right to the last page. Sacrifice for the truth comes in many forms.
