Spanning thirty years, Requiem for an Addict accompanies these men and women as they learn who they really are. Come and join them. On the way, you'll visit rough bars on back roads where criminals fight and scheme, the halls of wealth and power where the dirtiest deals are made, a hit man's private graveyard called "The Pet Cemetary", esoteric out-of-the-way rooms where drug addicts fight to stay clean, violent state prisons where men are either traumatized or made worse, and finally, a beach house where all scores are settled.
Requiem for an Addict was written by a man who has been to all of those places, known or been all of those people. He invites you to come and take a wild ride in the dark.
