'You didn't kill him did you, Ron?' he said piteously. 'He's all right, isn't he?'

Dimly-very dimly-Les realised that he was caught up in something big which he could not control. He was no longer a free agent...

Whether he liked it or not, they'd have to hang together-and the phrase sent a wave of terror through him.

JOHN BINGHAM, one of the foremost 'straight' novelists of our day, tells the story of Les, a cosh-boy, who was fundamentally harmless, but weak and impressionable-a story which moves us to pity and horror.

Dead Respectable - Desmond Reid

"Chelsea: beats and debs in clubs and pads..."

SEXTON BLAKE LIBRARY (5TH SERIES) NO.34

1ST PRINTING 1967

LONDON, UK 

To the worried American father the plea was simple - "Find my missing son in London."

To Blake it seemed at first a routine assignment, then the straight road of investigation took strange turnings. There were the cases of the murdered tramps, and the outbreak of suicides amongst university students...

It wasn't easy to find the truth amongst the Chelsea 'set' of S.W.3., where the trail started. Instead, Blake and his assistant found a fantasy world of pseudo-artists and their models; probed a dope-ring; met a white haired young man with a strange philosophy, and a doctor with a stranger practice.

Death and gang-violence joined their search before the riddle of the vanished American student was solved to Blake's satisfaction - if not to that of the police.

RUN, COPPER, RUN

The young cop parked his motorcycle beside the tree and headed toward them.

The moonlight caught the sheen of their black leather jackets, the tight fit of their blue jeans, the steel tips of their boots...caught the taunting smile on their lips as they stood waiting, six against one.

Take it easy, the cop told himself. They're just kids. But he knew better. He remembered what they had done to the girl, how they passed her around before they messed her up. And he knew that he couldn't let them get away with it.

He had to face them. He had to fight them. Here. Now.

THE MAGIC OF THEIR SINGING...

is far more than a Greenwich Village party where clothes are shed as easily as inhibition...

where Scotch and Bourbon and Drugs lead to a grotesque and terrifying orgy.

Author Bernard Wolfe has looked deep beneath the surface to write a brilliant satire on America's newest cult of non-conformists and their lives of music without melody and sex without romance.

(FIRST PUBLISHED BY FONTANA BOOKS 1973)

Rev up and...off

These were the instructions given to David Collyer at the start of his unorthodox ministry as chaplain for a club for the unclubbable Rockers, Hell's Angels and Mods in Birmingham

A fantastic story

How he avoided being killed or maimed for life and yet persisted in his love and duty to these violent young is nothing short of miraculous

No punches are pulled

Murder, sex, drugs, death on the road, thieving, malicious damage, and all the turbulence of ignorant and undisciplined youth are the scene. No attempt was made to preach or to moralize. The author literally became 'one of them'. But throughout the narrative there is a response to a religious need and a will to service for others which makes this not only a breathtaking but also a very moving book
