"Moving . . . Disturbing"
-N.Y. Times

You have just come to New York City looking for a home, a job, and (yes, Miguel would soon admit this to himself) love.

But in El Barrio, the heart of this city, you find only corruption: prostitutes for neighbors, hoodlums for the children to play with. In El Barrio you live with fear by day and violence by night.

This is the background for the book that shocked New Yorkers, and readers across the nation, when it became the fiction "sleeper" of the year. This is story behind New York City's explosive headlines.

FROM SUPER-HERO TO PIGEON IN ONE HIDEOUS NIGHT!

Jed Keelty was big stuff.

He was TV's "Gambling Gent" who always won - every fight, every girl, no matter what the opposing odds.

To millions of viewers, he was the epitome of super-strength, super-intelligence, super-courage.

Which made Jed Keelty and his beautiful fiancee all the more attractive as victims for "The Pigeon Game." The vicious invention of five warped young minds, the Pigeon Game was one contest Jed Keelty could not possibly win.

Stripped first of his romantic illusions about the girl he loved, Jed felt the night could hold no further horror for him...

But that was before he met Vint, the big blond muscle-boy who had marked Jed for himself. And Earl, the cowardly one, who hated him. Young Miguelito, who idolized him. And Juicer, the sinister one, who had plans for both Jed and his girl friend.

BUT MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL WAS HONEY, THE PONY-TAILED LITTLE SADIST WHO WOULD STOP AT NOTHING FOR THE TASTE OF JED'S BLOOD UPON HER LIPS BECAUSE IT DROVE HER INTO A FRENZIED PASSION THAT WAS, AT ONCE, BOTH DESPERATE AND DEADLY!

Together Brothers - Jim Robinson

Some mother killed their main man MR. KOOL and all at once they're Together Brothers

A WANTON MURDER
A MUTILATED BODY
A STALKING KILLER

"Mr. Kool? Why hit him?" the cop asked.

"Why?" His partner shrugged. "Because he was a black cop in a jungle...he just got too close to the animals."

Mr. Kool may have been the "fuzz"-"no better than any other jive-ass cop"-to most of the inhabitants of the ghetto. But to H.J., A.P., Monk, Gri'Gri' and Mau Mau he was a friend, a man who tried to understand young blacks and their problems. His death at the hands of a vengeful ex-con plunged the gang into a chilling manhunt-a race against time and terror in which five black kids pit their street know-how and motherwit against the steel cunning of a crazed killer...
