Jacket Notes:
The scene is an urban half-world of drug pushers and users, of pimps and prostitutes and narcotics detectives, laid bare in this explosive novel. From The Panic, the time of no dope, to The Man, who controls its ebb and flow on the streets, The Scene is a gripping work of heightened, hellish realism - a harrowing masterpiece of drug literature.
Strand Notes
(Old School Books series). This novel hit the streets in 1960 when its author was doing time. Set in a nameless, faceless city populated by dope fiends, lesbians, whores and pretty boys, it is written in a style evoking a mix of Jim Thompson and a jailhouse reading list. 288p. Pap.
