The Ton Boys - Ken Leary


BUDGET BOOKS 0 7105 0170 6
BRIDLINGTON, ENGLAND
1ST PRINTING 1980
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY DIGIT BOOKS 1961

They were smart young kids with souped up motor cycles, ornamented black leather jackets and skid-lids.

They larked around and took big risks; but, in the main, they were harmless enough.

Until, that is, crime came unbidden into their midst . . .

Scrubbers - Alexis Lykiard

It's a crime what Borstal can do to a girl.


STAR BOOKS 0 352 32343 9
LONDON, UK
FIRST PRINTING 1982
MOVIE-TIE IN

'scrubbers'

Annetta and Carol - when they broke out of Borstal they were friends. But now they're caught, back inside, sent to the tough, closed Borstal - it's different. Annetta thinks Carol's betrayed her - and she's going to get her brutal revenge.

SCRUBBERS is a glimpse into a closed world - the violence, the hopelessness, the uneasy alliances between the inmates, built on love and lust and fear. But SCRUBBERS also captures the unique affinity that exists between the prisoners, the rough, bawdy humour that helps them endure the desperate life behind prison bars.
