    A stunningly original dystopic novel about the impact of new synthetic drug Lingo on a depressed New England factory town. Besides offering a potent high, Lingo delivers a shot to the brain cells governing linguistic comprehension and verbal skill. Until murderous rages and babbling insanity take over, this mind-expanding feature makes the drug dangerously seductive. Box Nine shows a noir vision of a city that has become a virtual battlefield between warring multi-ethnic drug cartels.

    Why would two Eastern European meatboys want to whack an innocent cab driver? That's the question that occurs to Gilrein as Raban and Blumfeld press the gun barrel into his mouth. Does it have something to do with the ritual death-by-flensing of Leo Tani? Or does the answer involve Gilrein's ex-lover, now working as a librarian for a bibliomaniac gangster? Or maybe the whole thing has something to do with the Inspector, inventor of the notorious Methodology? So many questions and more in the fourth book in the Quinsigamond Quintet.
