"A fast-paced and gripping thriller-expect several twists along the way." -Cosmopolitan
Amid rumors of bartenders paid to spike drinks and then deliver drugged college women to paying, eager patrons, University of Cape Town (UCT) authorities move quickly to limit the damage-but the police don't want to believe there is a problem. A world away in Seattle, Carlos De Palma, the shadowy operator behind Dark Video, is plotting his survival strategy in the ever-changing Internet landscape. With his wealthy clientele clamoring for heightened thrills, Carlos begins tapping into a new service that blurs the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds. Meanwhile, UCT student Robbie is sent into a sinister underground world where no price is too high to pay to deliver every fantasy-no matter how twisted. Bitter Pill, part of Church's dark web trilogy, is a gripping thriller that sweeps through the intoxicating haunts of Cape Town's nightlife to explode in an adrenaline-laced sprint through the violent landscape of stalking, sexual deviation, and murder.
