Sammy Golden, police-detective, and Father Shanley, the astute but kindly parish priest, are involved with murder and delinquents-among other things-in Jack Webb's most exciting mystery to date.

Sammy is told to acquire a hangover and then report for duty. This is an unorthodox order, but on it hangs the catching of a cop-killer, the murderer of one of Sammy's friends. Sammy does as he is told. Perhaps he is overzealous because his head aches so that he can hardly think, and when he turns up, still on orders at a roadhouse called The Seven Club, he is ready for both beer and trouble. He has plenty of both before the evening ends.

The excitement starts when Sammy meets a blonde-a girl whose looks are one-in-a-thousand-and saves her from a fracas that starts in The Seven Club. Father Shanley tries to reach Sammy, but Sammy is moving so fast that their paths seldom cross in this suspense-filled story.

Walter Sherris - successful, happy, good husband and father-made just one mistake: he took a walk along a dark road one night. Without warning, a car raced toward him and screeched to a stop; out piled five young men intent on violence. To the accompaniment of wild brainless laughter, Walter Sherris was beaten to the ground.

He awoke in a hospital nine days later. And from that moment his pleasant life became a nightmare, more horrible than those he had wrestled with in those nine days of unconsciousness.

Walter Sherris wanted revenge: for the broken leg and the pain; for the doubts he now had about his pretty, gay wife; and for the countless and nameless others who had been mauled by the thrill seekers, the sadists, the compulsive slayers.

The police were evasive, almost disinterested. There were no witnesses. So Walter Sherris set out-alone-to trap the tiger.

JAZZ BOY

Vic Ravenna was a guy who had everything-the jazz that burned fiercely through his brain and body, the best booze, plenty of dames, everything-

-everything except Zora, the brazen beauty who teased him, laughed at him, and then fed her ambitions on the offerings of other men. Zora wanted fun and money and fame-but she wanted them without Vic.

Vic knew what Zora was. But he didn't care. He had to have her, and he vowed to do anything, anything at all, to get her...

This is the novel behind the WHO's conceptual rock album "QUADROPHENIA", the story of the mods and rockers of the early sixties, now a stunning new film.

QUADROPHENIA

They were dedicated to fashion, music and pills. They created the 'Style', followed the WHO, the SMALL FACES and the STONES, rode polished Lambrettas and assembled in their thousands to fight.

By 1964, the year of the Brighton riots, the mods had revolutionised a whole generation...

THIS IS A PICTURE OF HARLAN ELLISON

and Rockabilly is a picture of his world. A world populated by The Hungry Ones - the beautiful women and talented guys who leech off one another - and the populace in general - to make their fast buck. It's a universe in which a kid who knows the angles can become a national institution, where talent doesn't count as much as a good press and a C-note under the table.  The acetate arena where a long-playing bum can sing gibberish and coin a fortune.

Rockabilly is written in the hip, contemporary manner of a brilliant young writer who will shock and amuse you, and who sees beyond the neon glitter of the image merchant's dreamworld.

THIS IS A GOLD MEDAL BOOK
