Dan Geary is a travel journalist, a cynical dissolute hack whose once-glittering career has gone adrift on seas of casual sex and cocaine. Commissioned to write a piece on the life and death of political activist Beatrice Porter, whom Geary knew as a student in Oxford, he finds himself on a nightmarish journey into the darkest depths of hell on earth, in search of the truth and his own redemption.Based on Dante Alighieri’s
Inferno and inspired by current events,A Heart within The Beast is a savage, comic, bleak and twisted political thriller.
