Set in 2002, at a time when America is on the brink of collapse under the weight of an unstable economy and totalitarian regime, Heroin(e): Entropy follows Nina, a young woman who's finally escaped poverty and found happiness in suburban Washington, D. C. But her life is violently upended when her boyfriend, Konrad, unwittingly drugs her with a synthetic drug called x-2317. This compound gives them both enhanced intelligence and decision-making abilities, launching them into a high-stakes battle to control x-2317s regional production and distribution. Meanwhile, Blake Rice, a former Navy SEAL, and his young prot g Renzo are on a cross-state killing spree, with no apparent motive. Their violent rampage, along with the escalating violence of a series of sniper attacks across the country, appears to be linked to an international pharmaceutical company, who are the creators of x-2317 Konrad stole the formula from. As Nina's new awareness grows, she realizes that she's being manipulated by forces she doesn't understand. With the D. C. Metro area on the brink of chaos, it's up to Nina to stop the devastating global distribution of x-2317, and its poisonous yet addictive offshoot synthetic heroin, all while keeping her single, drug-addicted mother alive. Heroin(e): Entropy is a fast-paced thriller exploring themes of toxic masculinity, control, and the lengths one will go to in order to protect the people they love. With its tense pacing, complex characters, and morally ambiguous world, the novel will appeal to readers who enjoy works like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides.
