Chasing the Dragon

By James Harvest

ONE PILL CAN KILL. BUT THE POISON ISN'T JUST ON THE STREETS-IT'S IN THE BOARDROOM.

A teenage athlete. A single, desperate decision to calm his nerves. A blue pill that wasn't what he thought. The frantic sirens, the gasp of naloxone, the shame that follows.

A weary FBI agent. A dedicated hunter chasing ghosts in a digital labyrinth, stuck in an endless cycle of arresting street-level dealers while the body count soars. He knows he's fighting the symptoms, not the disease.

A radical doctor. Running a clinic on the front lines, she fights not with handcuffs, but with naloxone and compassion. She believes you can't arrest your way out of a public health crisis, and she's willing to face down an angry town to prove it.

When a new, hyper-lethal opioid floods their community, these three unlikely allies are thrust together. Their investigation will take them from the darkest corners of the internet to the polished halls of corporate power, uncovering a conspiracy so vast and evil it will shatter everything they thought they knew about the drug war.

They will discover that the source of the crisis isn't just in clandestine labs or cartel strongholds. It is in the heart of a respected American corporation, where ruthless executives have made a calculated decision: to weaponize addiction and profit from the carnage.

Chasing the Dragon is more than a thriller. It's a heart-pounding journey into the nexus of high-stakes law enforcement, cutting-edge cybercrime, and life-or-death medical advocacy. It's a story about the pain that creates demand, the greed that feeds it, and the courage it takes to fight back.

This is the novel that will change how you see the opioid crisis forever. You will never look at a pharmaceutical commercial the same way again.

Perfect for fans of Narcos, The Wire, and Michael Crichton-a story that masterfully blends relentless suspense with devastating social commentary.

If you think you know how the drug war works, you're wrong. Dive in and discover the terrifying truth.
