A bleak Manhattan midwinter and a group of wealthy teenagers, left to their own devices by disregarding parents, delve into the excesses of drugs, sex and the most chilling acts of violence imaginable. Hunter ----- falsely accused of murder after a fight on the basketball courts; White Mike - a straight-A student who makes a fortune selling illegal substances; Laura - gorgeous but obsessed with a fabulous new designer drug called 'twelve'; and Claude - whose trips into the shadier corners of Chinatown have fuelled a macabre fascination with deadly weapons...From page one, this novel pulsates towards its apocalyptic climax. Cool and cruel and utterly compulsive, TWELVE is the debut novel of 2002.

Review

'Consistently brilliant. Every subtle, thought-provoking poetic moment in this novel fits on top of the last, creating a narrative as precarious and complex as a tower of building blocks. But this tower doesn't fall... One of the most exciting new writers around' -- Scarlett Thomas * Independent on Sunday *
'A small masterpiece' -- Germaine Greer * BBC Newsnight Review *
Nick McDonell is the real thing... I'm afraid that he will do for his generation what I did for mine. * Hunter S. Thompson *
'Twelve is sleek, seductive, tightens like a vice' * Uncut *
