Rabid Killers Thomas Black

Publisher Marketing: A homeless man is viciously attacked by a dog in a back alley. Another chases a woman down in the street. The animals are more than vicious; they're dogs mad with disease. They've been injected with a highly virulent form of rabies, but this is just the beginning of a new wave of madness that is about to hit the inner city streets. Hank, the leader of the Golds, uses dogfights to fund his gang, but he doesn't want to bet the odds, so he teams with the Doctor, an amoral veterinarian, to make their long-odds dogs sure winners. But the Doctor sees a future more stimulating than rigged dogfights. He wants to infect humans and put them into gladiator bouts. With the police captain caught in Hank's back pocket, and a vile of rabies virus in the Doctor's lab coat, can anyone thwart the Doctor's plan? Rabid Killers is a neo-contemporary thriller that pits the darkest ambitions against the most humane motivations. The heroes of Rabid Killers are the "forgottens" of the neighborhood who go unseen through life on the last rung of the economic ladder. With no other option but to be destroyed by evil men, these ordinary people band together to do things so extraordinary, Hank and the Doctor will never forget them.
