'You didn't kill him did you, Ron?' he said piteously. 'He's all right, isn't he?'
Dimly-very dimly-Les realised that he was caught up in something big which he could not control. He was no longer a free agent...
Whether he liked it or not, they'd have to hang together-and the phrase sent a wave of terror through him.
JOHN BINGHAM, one of the foremost 'straight' novelists of our day, tells the story of Les, a cosh-boy, who was fundamentally harmless, but weak and impressionable-a story which moves us to pity and horror.
