BBC R4 - Murder At The Red October by Anthony Olcott
The novel opens with Duvakin providing security at the Red October hotel. A sleepy nightshift position, he spends most of his time dealing with drunks and minor visitor complaints. When a murder occurs, he calls the KGB and thinks he has passed the problem on to someone else. When he stumbles across a substantial quantity of heroin stored in a Russian doll, he unintentionally deals himself back into the high stakes game.

Constable Hamish MacBeth goes undercover to investigate the mysterious death of a recovered heroin addict, whose church has been suspected of being in the drug trade.
JunkieJunkie (alternative title spelled Junky) is a 1953 semi-autobiographical novel by William S. Burroughs. It was his first published novel and has come to be considered a seminal text on the lifestyle of heroin addicts in the early 1950s. Burroughs' working title was Junk. Partly because he saw that becoming a publishable writer was possible (his friend Jack Kerouac had published his first novel The Town and the City in 1950), he began to compile his experiences as an addict, ‘lush roller’ and small-time Greenwich Village heroin pusher.
