Description

Two drug dealers, one serial killer, zero chance of playing it safe.

Mark and Toby aren’t your average entrepreneurs. Their business is drugs. Mark, a smooth-talking hustler, thrives in the fast-paced world of crime. Toby, a genius chemist with a drug habit to match, keeps the operation running from their chaotic, substance-fuelled hideout. Their lives are a precarious mix of dodging the law, dealing with bizarre—sometimes psychotic—customers, and navigating Mark’s increasingly volatile love life.

But their world is about to spiral even further out of control. A brutal serial killer with a taste for human flesh is prowling the streets, and Mark’s girlfriend, Janine, has given him an ultimatum: leave the drug game behind and move to France with her, or risk losing her forever. When their world of crime, chaos, and kinky mishaps collides with real danger, Mark and Toby are forced to ask themselves: can they really take care of business?

A neo-noir crime thriller laced with razor-sharp dialogue, larger-than-life characters, and twisted humour. Taking Care of Business is an adrenaline-fuelled ride where the punchlines hit as hard as the violence. Get your copy today and strap in for a darkly funny and chaotic ride where the stakes are high, the humour is deadly, and survival is anything but guaranteed.

Taking Care of Business is one of those books that grabs you by the collar and drags you into the mess—gritty streets, sharp-tongued criminals, and a serial killer lurking in the shadows. Mark and Toby’s dynamic is equal parts hilarious and tragic, and I couldn’t help but keep flipping pages to see how deep the trouble would go. What I really liked was how it mixed intensity with these oddly funny, offbeat moments—it made the danger feel even more real. If you enjoy stories that are fast, dark, and just the right kind of twisted, this one's worth the ride.

This book is bananas—in the BEST way. 🍌💀 I mean, it’s got a smooth-talking dealer, a chaotic genius with a drug habit, a girlfriend who’s DONE with the drama, and oh yeah… a flesh-eating serial killer on the loose?! I was laughing one second and gasping the next. The story moves like a speeding bullet, and the dialogue is so sharp it could cut glass. This is like if Breaking Bad and Snatch had a baby and raised it on dark humor and espresso. Buckle up—Mark and Toby are a hot mess and I loved every second. 🚬🔪🔥
