Jailbait Street - Hal Ellson

TOUGH KIDS ON A TOUGH STREET, BRED WITH HATRED AND VIOLENCE

JAILBAIT STREET

Running wild from darkness till dawn - snatching at love in deserted alleys or lonely rooftops - today's tough juvenile punks have turned our city streets into asphalt jungles of terror and lawlessness.

This is the savagely realistic story of a teen-age gang - the Sultans - and their mixed-up leader, Silkie Meegan, whose desperate search for manhood drove him into frenzied excesses of violence and vice. . .

From the vengeance beating with bicycle chains of a rival gang. . .to the degraded sharing of sweet virginal Carol with the rest of his gang. And finally to the fateful family feud with his own father over Charlotte - his father's prostitute mistress - who first taught Silkie her own kind of Jailbait Street love, then hired him to dig up new "business" for her.

THIS IS RUXTON STREET

HOT ROD, COOL DRIVER

For young Dave Mason, devoted to driving, the cross-country road race was the big chance of a lifetime...to settle with the past and find the future, to prove himself the man he wanted to be.

But one thing could ride right over all his hopes: the deluxe rod driven by a first-class heel who hated Dave's guts.

Here are all the bright colors and roaring thrills of the gunning, racing motors, the zing of competition, the excitement of sport...the heart-stopping peril of a crash...the nip-and-tuck finish! Life and death ride on the race - and the heart and spirit Dave can bring to it!

THEY WOULD STOP AT NOTHING!

THE WILLOWY BLOND, in a fluffy white skirt stood over him. She was smoking a cigarette through the black mask that covered her face.
"Hello, honey," she said softly. "Do you like me?"
She knelt on one knee. Her hand caressed his cheek, her other hand holding the cigarette.
As the blonde kissed him on the mouth she ground her cigarette into his flesh. He yelled, but she kept up the kissing and the burning.
"Atta girl! Give it to him again!" one of the boys shouted. "Next?"
They were teen-agers - kids. But they were capable of anything. And one of them had been capable, probably, of murder!
