Jacket is lightly worn. Now in clear cover. "Dannie Martin went to the toughest writing school on the planet - jail. He began writing to tell the hard truths about the world he was living in. Now, he writes to tell us stories from that world he left behind, the hard but somehow brutally honest world of the career criminal. Mr. Martin offers the story of Vernon Coy, a pimp and small-time bank robber who's living the easy life with two girls and a rooster. The girls - Paula and Curly - are just like family, and the rooster is not just any rooster. He fought an alligator to a standstill and he's making Vern a fortune at the cockfights. Of course the easy life never stays easy for long. What Vern doesn't know is that he's in the hat. In a prison gang when you have crossed another gang, your name goes in the hat, and whoever pulls your name is expected to make sure you are dead before the next lockdown. Since Vern's on the outside, killing him won't be that simple or that quick, but if the Duboce White Boys have their way, it won't be long. The result: murder, mayhem, cops, robbers, and robbery - told from the wrong side of the law with all of the gritty realism that only someone who's been on the wrong side of prison walls can provide." $35.00USD
