Twelve

Waterstones' Books of the Year

Nick McDonell's electrifying novel tells the story of a fictional drug called Twelve and its devastating effects on the beautiful rich and desperate poor of New York City.From page one, this novel pulsates towards its apocalyptic climax. Twelve is cool, cruel and utterly compulsive.

Twelve has been adapted for film by Hollywood director Joel Schumacher starring Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts, and 50 Cent.
