The favourite crime pulp paperback I've read is 'Mugger' by Spanish John (a pseudonym I presume). Think it was published by Ace, prob around 1968. A seemingly factual account of Spanish John's life of crime, in the same vein as William S Burroughs' 'Junky'. Superb nihilism!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation - sounds great, I'll look out for it - I love a good bit of "pulp non-fiction".
ReplyDeleteWonder if 'Spanish John' ever met 'Spanish Tony'?
Yeah, "Spanish Tony" Sanchez and the Stones. What a scene. There's a copy of 'Mugger' on Amazon.co.uk for £4.50.
