"If you only read one more horror novel this year, make sure this is it." - Edward Lee Wretch is a relentless descent into crime, horror, and vengeance. A brutal unflinching thriller for fans of organized crime sagas, dark detective fiction, and monsters born in the shadows of science. Chicago is choking under the hottest summer on record, but the true heat comes from the blood spilled on its streets. Detective Donnie Lynch trails a killer who shouldn't exist. Mob boss Tico "The Meatgrinder" Tortellio has stepped out from the shadows of his empire with a personal vendetta to avenge his daughter- and nothing short of blood will settle the score
"If you only read one more horror novel this year, make sure this is it."
Edward Lee, author of The Television and The Bighead
"In this Frankenstein meets The Godfather mashup, Wagner tackles everything from how it feels to be a cop in today's world to addictions at every level-booze and drugs, body sculpting, and workouts. But where Wagner's novel really shines is calling out Big Pharma's own addiction to creating the next little blue pill."
Laura Caldwell, author of Long Way Home, and The Dog Park
