The Dark Fields

Imagine a drug that made your brain function with perfect efficiency, tapping into your deepest resources of creativity and drive, releasing all the passive knowledge you'd ever accumulated. Imagine a drug that focused you so intensely you could read a stack of books in just a few hours and remember every word, learn a foreign language in the space of a quiet evening at home. Imagine a drug that allowed you to process information so quickly you could see patterns in the stock market, a drug that made you so charming you could seduce a room full of strangers in a matter of minutes, or land any job you wanted.
Eddie Spinola is on such a drug. It's called MDT-48, and it's success in a bottle - a designer drug that's re-designing his life.
MDT is helping Eddie to become the kind of man he's always dreamed of being, but as he morphs into the picture of intellectual and financial success on the outside, he starts falling apart on the inside - headaches, blackouts, violent outbursts. But now it's too late to go back; he's hooked, and the supply that once seemed limitless is starting to dwindle. As Eddie tries to trace the other users, uncovering MDT's shady origins and the mystery behind his dealer's death, the drug that once seemed like a dream come true is looking more and more like his worst nightmare.
