There’s a new drug sweeping the streets of Stainmouth. A drug with devastating consequences. More lows than highs. Death being one of them.

After a teenager drops down dead on her dancefloor, nightclub owner Zara Carmichael turns to the one person who can find an answer outside of the law. The one person who runs a small team of under-qualified undercover agents.

Agatha Pleasant and her Nearly Dearly Departed Club.

This isn’t a simple case of unfortunate events, though. The deaths are no accident; they’re deliberate. Planned. Somebody’s out to kill and they’re succeeding. Who? Why? The answers are out there, but to get to the top of the chain, you first have to start at the bottom. From the gutter to the penthouse and everything in between.
Work together to save lives. It’s not The Nearly Dearly Departed Club way. At least it wasn’t. Now it has to be.

That’s if you want to stay alive long enough to uncover the truth …

The Bitterest Pill is the eighth instalment in the unputdownable, critically acclaimed Nearly Dearly Departed Club series. Perfect for fans of Mick Herron, JD Kirk and Caimh McDonnell.
