Chasers is the second Being Human novel. Since the plot continues through all three novels, the books The Road should be read before Chasers and Bad Blood should be read after Chasers. George's friend, Kaz, arrives at the flat with a staggering request: she and her partner Gail want to have a child, and they'd like George to be the father. George is warming to the idea - he's always wanted kids, and he can be as involved in the baby's life as he wishes - but he is wary: what if his condition is genetic?
