Yes, but this is only if there are few of them and if you know about them. What if they are hungry? They are very hungry... And there are a lot of them... Then you should stay on your guard. After all, they are already crawling for their food... In the novel "Slugs", the Merton police are looking for clues to a terrible murder after three mutilated corpses are found.

Mike Brady, an inspector for the board of health, is the first to come to the conclusion: the mysterious killers are slugs living in sewer pipes. But how to save the city from monsters attacking people?
