A chaotic outlaw and a drug-addled genius slip into the circle of a savage killer in Taking Care of Business: A Neo-Noir Tale of Drugs, Chaos, and Death (The Business Trilogy Book 1) by Simon Pearce, a raunchy romp of strange trips, risky living, and taking delight in deviance. Mark and Toby are edgy entrepreneurs, cooking up product and slinging substances for the masses, with one eye perpetually peeled for the cops. If that isn’t precarious enough, a serial killer cannibal, an ultimatum-wielding girlfriend, and the dead gangster at the bottom of the stairs are seriously complicating their maverick enterprise. Laced with acerbic wit, macabre romance, and sharp dialogue that reflects the ongoing madness, this short novel is an authentically funny and original ride through the occupational hazards of hedonism.
