A new street drug is ravaging the UK. Users are being struck down by an incurable illness. Those suffering from the dreaded Itch are in so much pain they’ve peeled the flesh from their bones, desperate to relieve their symptoms.

Set in and around Manchester, the story follows Jack Bright, a scientist determined to help those affected. Whilst investigating a clinical trial that ended in tragedy, he uncovers a disturbing secret. Little does he know, someone will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. Before Jack can find out more, he is framed.

Desperate, not only to clear his name but also to find the truth, Jack is forced to resort to increasingly questionable methods. Breaking and entering. Blackmail. Kidnapping. With every decision, his morals are tested. But he perseveres, motivated by a tragedy in his past.

Jack’s luck is constantly dwindling, until he finds himself racing against more than just the people who are after him. What will it take to cure The Itch?

August Raine

Writing has always been an important part of August Raine's life. Much of his school life was spent bringing ideas to life... sometimes at the expense of other, less interesting subjects. Whilst travelling for much of his twenties, he began writing what was to become his first novel, Poison in the Pills. After many re-writes and edits, it was finally self-published in August 2020 (by coincidence, rather than design). Now, he works full-time and writes whenever he can.
