KICK WHEN HE'S DOWN!

AIM FOR THE GROIN!

STOMP OR BE STOMPED!

These are the rules for survival in a kid gang. These are the rules that I lived by when I ran with a gang myself, trying to find out what makes a JD tick. And let me tell you these kids aren't playing games. These are junior-grade killers!

I've pulled no punches in THE JUVIES either. I've painted these kids as they really are, in sharp black and white (and very often in blood red). Stark and stinking, and intended to scare the hell out of you.

Smithy was a young thug who absorbed every bad influence and rejected every good one; at his school in London's East End he was in a special class for 'incorrigibles'-a class of hoodlums as ignorant and vicious as himself. When he leaves at fifteen, his sinister values are already formed. All he wants is easy money to spend on clothes and girls. From petty theft and fraud he graduates to robbery with violence; then, on the eve of his seventeenth birthday, comes disaster-he is involved in murder! Here is the horrifying story of young gangsters told with superb skill and deep feeling; you may dislike Smithy, but you will certainly not forget him.

Sinners Don't Cry! - R. C. Dickson

They searched for the sound. Tried to find it in the pain of their passion...the scream of her surrender...the rage of his rape...

SINNERS DON'T CRY -

Her life was one big roman candle. And when it exploded inside her she really came alive. She couldn't cry...she was too busy living. She wasn't sorry for what she was doing...only for what she wasn't doing.

Like this novel sings, man. Like it's alive. Make the scene on tour with a velvet-throated thrush with a golden body in front of a mad group of jazz-men who take their kicks where they find them. 'Cause that's livin'. Real livin.'

HOTROD GIRL.....

Hold the stick low, tromp down on the pedal, and listen to it winding out! Listen to the roar in your ears! Was it a wheel he clutched in his hands, or was it Paula? Whip up through the gears, listen to the engine-throb steady down to a sweet hum as the miles shot backward under the hurtling wheels! Was it a cut-down car, its horn blaring the clumsy stockers off the road, or was it the lust-spell Paula wove? Did he know? Did he care? Or was he - were all the members of the hotrod gang - going to blast themselves to sinful, endless, lust-burned hell in the passion-clawed arms of the hot-eyed

The Scene - Clarence L. Cooper

"A shattering, uncompromising novel of drug addicts"

FOUR SQUARE 1524

FIRST PRINTING AUGUST 1966

FIRST PUBLISHED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY ANTHONY BLOND LIMITED 1960

Sometimes with raw brutality, always with compassion, this uncompromising novel sweeps the labyrinth of pushers and prostitutes, the police ready to spring on The Man who controls the entire dope operation, to reveal the half-world of drugs, known as the Scene.

It is a world where sensibilities are tuned to heights as well as depths, as in the hauntingly moving affair between Andy Hodden and Taylor Mayo. A world of conflict in which men are tested to their fullest, as in the searchingly described characterisations of the two competing detectives of the Narcotics Squad. A world that reaches into the very core of society: the police, the courts, industry, the rich and the poor - none are immune from the infection of the Scene.

Only someone who himself has been an addict, as the author was, could describe so unforgettably 'the panic', the time of no dope, and portray withdrawal so convincingly. 'The Scene' is an important, gripping novel about a side of life that should not be ignored.
