This savage novel may shock you - but you'll never forget it. Bantam Books Inc. believes its readers want to know the brutal truth about juvenile delinquents - and whether there is any hope for them.

ZUBIAT

. . . that was his name . . . this sixteen-year old son of a jailbird father and a no-good mother. No wonder he already had a shady past behind him - and nothing ahead of him but a terrible, blood-stained future.

Then he was sentenced to Camp Matthews - "Angels Camp." There he met a lot of young hoodlums, whose life-stories will shock you. But he also met Mr. Grozier, the counselor who really wanted to help.

Coul Grozier win his battle for Zubiat . . . against Zubiat himself?

"Boot-tough novel . . . skillfully done . . . should go a long way toward awakening the public to the truth about juvenile delinquency." - KING FEATURES SYNDICATE

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!

"His mouth was warm against hers. Her breasts crushed against him and swelled above the square-cut neck in the satin dress.

She knew she ought to sit up and pull the new blue dress with all its yards of braid down over her knees.

She knew she ought to...."

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN HARDBACK BY HUTCHINSON & Co 1965

At Clapham Common, on the evening of July 2nd, 1953, a murder was committed. Charged with stabbing to death a young boy in a gang-fight, Michael Davies stood trial at the Old Bailey and was sentenced to death. His appeals to the Court of Criminal Appeal and the House of Lords were dismissed. He spent in all 92 days in the condemned cell until he was reprieved by the Home Secretary who commuted his sentence to one of life imprisonment. Of this, he served seven years; now back in society, he is married and has settled down, leading a life of quiet respectability. But Davies maintains, and has always maintained, that he was innocent.

Tony Parker examines his claim, and how it came about that Michael Davies was found guilty.

2ND PRINTING NOVEMBER 1959

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE USA UNDER THE TITLE "GO"

Clellon Holmes is famous as the inventor of the Beat Generation, and The Beat Boys (originally entitled Go) is the book in which he introduced the phrase. It is a novel of youth in search of 'kicks'. Against a background of fast-drinking, drug addiction, wild jazz and all-night parties, the young people of today who make up the Beat Generation carry on their desperate search for a meaning to their lives - a search for identity, experience and love. The Beats may be found pursuing their restless quest in every big American city. Here is the world of the Beat Generation - a world of dingy backstairs, be-bop joints, night-long wanderings, meetings on street corners, hitch-hiking, and 'hip' bars.

A new shocker of modern youth by the author of THE YOUNG WOLVES and THE FIRES OF YOUTH.
