Taking Care of Business
by
Simon Pearce

Part 1 of The Business Trilogy




Based on the movie directed by Simon Pearce

Two drug dealers, one serial killer, zero chance of playing it safe.

Mark and Toby aren’t your average entrepreneurs. Their business is drugs. Mark, a smooth-talking hustler, thrives in the fast-paced world of crime. Toby, a genius chemist with a drug habit to match, keeps the operation running from their chaotic, substance-fuelled hideout. Their lives are a precarious mix of dodging the law, dealing with bizarre—sometimes psychotic—customers, and navigating Mark’s increasingly volatile love life.

But their world is about to spiral even further out of control. A brutal serial killer with a taste for human flesh is prowling the streets, and Mark’s girlfriend, Janine, has given him an ultimatum: leave the drug game behind and move to France with her, or risk losing her forever. When their world of crime, chaos, and kinky mishaps collides with real danger, Mark and Toby are forced to ask themselves: can they really take care of business?

A neo-noir crime thriller laced with razor-sharp dialogue, larger-than-life characters, and twisted humour. Taking Care of Business is an adrenaline-fuelled ride where the punchlines hit as hard as the violence. Get your copy today and strap in for a darkly funny and chaotic ride where the stakes are high, the humour is deadly, and survival is anything but guaranteed.
