They reveal that they had experimented on Alfie Kelly, but his heart had given out on the first dose. It was written by Charlie Higson and released in the UK on March 3, 2005 by Puffin Books in conjunction with a large marketing campaign; a Canadian release of the same edition occurred in late March.
