Malleable

Malleable, adj. A substance capable of being beaten into shape by a hammer.

A research scientist, with a cushy job, enters the drug underworld; pulled by the lure of excitement, pushed by a wife desperate to return to an estranged homeland and shaped by the hammer of greed.

"Maguire's first foray into fiction leaves the reader breathless, panting, yearning for more. The gripping storyline rockets you along as you turn pages at a pheromone-induced rate. Perhaps what's so compelling about the story is its utterly, frighteningly real premise: a venture into the world of designer drugs, of a man driven by societal needs to have more, experience more. The tale brutally, sexily shows the reader just how malleable--how easily forced under pressure--the human will is. Word to Maguire: We want more, more, more!" Amazon review of paperback edition.
