This is the savagely realistic story of a teen-age gang - the Sultans - and their mixed-up leader, Silkie Meegan, whose desperate search for manhood drove him into frenzied excesses of violence and vice . From the vengenance beating with bicycle chains of a rival gang . to the degraded sharing of sweet, virginal Carol with the rest of his gang. And finally to the fateful family feud with his own father over Charlotte - his father's prostitute mistress - who first taught Silkie her own kind of Jailbait Street love, then hired him to dig new 'business' for her." >>> Spine slant; Surface scratching to covers; edge wear to covers..
