A savage crook in jail for robbery with murder

HIS GIRL

Anna, a reformatory girl, runaway from bad home, dominated by her fierce longing for a love which is now only a bitter memory

THE STORY

Anna is told that two hundred dollars will ensure Tuck's parole. She commits murder to get it, then takes to the road with the half-breed Indian who has helped with the crime, and is timidly in love with her. She has no regard for the half-breed, but uses him cruelly to protect herself, following a path of deception and cunning until her final disillusionment.

Tuck's Girl is a remarkable story of the lengths to which a woman will go when a rememembered love is all that she lives for

A NOVEL THAT HAS BECOME A CLASSIC OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION

A story that savagely exposes a burning problem

"He saw West's fists doubled and hard, saw the animal look that had come on Belazi's face, and again the knife, threatening and sharp. . .The noise grew louder and Rick grasped in his mind for a picture of the Roman arena, tried to to rise, felt pain sear through his right arm. . .He's cut me, he thought with panic. Belazi has cut me. . .THIS IS IT. . .THIS IS REALLY IT."

' I can assure you Spare The Rod is as nothing compared with the description of life in a similar New York school given in The Blackboard Jungle'.

TIGER

I didn't know who they were or what they wanted when they came out of the night. They looked like nice enough kids from nice enough families, but they turned into bloodthirsty tigers and nearly killed me-FOR FUN!

They marked my body with their blows, they marked my soul with hatred. I had to find them, but the police couldn't help me, my wife begged me to forget, the kids themselves sent a message to quit-OR DIE!

But nothing could stop me, for now I was a tiger, too, a tiger who hunted by night-AND BY DAY!
