What do you think—should you be afraid of slugs? Probably not, you’d say. They’re so small that wiping them out wouldn’t cause any harm. True—only if there are just a few and if you know about them. But what if they’re hungry? Very, very hungry… and there are so many of them… Then you’d better stay on guard. Because they’re already crawling toward their food…
In the novel “Slugs,” Merton police are searching for the explanation behind a terrible murder after three mutilated bodies are found. The first two are in a house in a new district of the city; the third is in the cemetery. They’re so disfigured they can’t be identified… Mike Brady, an inspector for the health board, is the first to conclude that the mysterious killers are slugs living in the sewer pipes. But how can you save a city from monsters attacking people?
