- Synopsis
- THE BEST FEELING YOU EVER HAVE MIGHT KILL YOU. An ordinary day... Dr Julie Rees is working in the ER in downtown Vancouver when calls of an emergency come in – five teenagers have overdosed. Three died at the scene, two are in cardiac arrest and on their way to the hospital. It&’s a race against time to try and save them, one that seems impossible to win.A terrible new drug...As Julie unpicks the harrowing events, she sees the unlikelihood of the kids&’ deaths. How could they have all overdosed at once? How were none of them able to help each other? The answer is obvious – they must have died within seconds of each other. But how?An epidemic in the making...The bloodwork from the patients confirms Julie&’s worst fears – they were poisoned by an ultra-potent strand of the opioid fentanyl. When more and more people die from the same thing, the deaths begin to look deliberate, targeted – and the drugs are still out there, while the body count rises . . .Fast-paced, tense and authentic, if you love the drama and tension of shows like Grey&’s Anatomy and the skewed morality of Breaking Bad, then this is for you. ***Praise for THE LAST HIGH***'Michael Crichton ought to be looking over his shoulder' The Chronicle Herald 'A riveting thriller, The Last High features the most evil and insidious of villains: opioids. This important, must-read book is not only well-researched and entirely realistic, it gives a human face to a devastating epidemic' ROBYN HARDING, internationally bestselling author of The Arrangement and The Party.
