Condition: Good

In the tradition of Jim Carroll's Basketball Diaries Eddie Little's debut novel traces the outlaw life of a young Irish American. A teenage speed freak and petty thief Bobbie and his Puerto Rican girlfriend Rosie are taken under the wing of an all-round criminal opportunist named Mel who is old enough to be Bobbie's father and Mel's girlfriend Syd. Bobbie's chance to get back on his feet begins as the inside man in a pharmaceutical company break-in. The ensuing crime spree takes the foursome across the Midwest and California of the early '70s--and deeper into the dark world of heroin addiction.
