A crime novel of near-future dystopia from the musician and former Stranglers vocalist/guitarist
Amidst pollution, apocalyptic climatic disasters and draconian new laws, the government has decided to get tough on obesity by taxing the overweight.
When a mild-mannered young doctor in Miami does a small favour for his new, and very overweight, client, he suddenly finds himself the preferred doctor of the members of an organised crime syndicate. Slowly he becomes entangled in a web of tax crime, drug manufacture and murder that he cannot escape.
But when his crimes are discovered by a law enforcement robot who longs to be human he finds an opportunity to get out. Or will the past inevitably catch up with him?
