“Knots is a chilling dystopic vision in the tradition of Orwell’s 1984 and Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. McDonough puts his own unique and timely stamp on it.” – Nick Cutter, author of The Acolyte, Little Heaven, and The Deep

The 29th Amendment guarantees everybody one monogamous romantic and sexual partner. As a detective with the Boston Police Department’s Intimacy Allocation Unit, Sean hunts down the hoarders who violate this law.

Sean likes his job. It’s the perfect cover.

But when Sean gets invited to an underground play party, his safe, simple life becomes . . . complicated. Every hour he spends with these outlaws, leading their life—the life he could have had—makes them seem less like targets, and more like people.

His people.

With career—and life—on the line, Sean must decide whether his loyalties lie with his job, his friends, and his old way of doing things—or with a group of complete strangers who somehow feel like family.

A near-future dystopia about kink, sexuality, and queer/LGBTQ+ community,
Knots is the perfect book for readers who loved
Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Leni Zumas’s Red Clocks,
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, or Nick Cutter’s The Acolyte.
