Bunker's name comes up from time to time.
I read Little Boy Blue and Dog Eat Dog. Fine, fine
books.
Both reminded me of Another Day In Paradise by Eddie Little.
The criminal life portrayed in these books is the real thing.
Both write so well you can feel the fear and the thrill. It's
like hearing the report of a real .45 when all you ever heard
before was how it sounds on TV.
There are plenty of ex-cops who write terrific true-to-life
crime stories. The cop's stories move forward deliberately,
with punctuations of violence, towards solving the
crimes.
These books by ex-criminals are a wild ride all the
time.
I heard somewhere that Eddie Little ended up back on dope and
that's why he hasn't released another book.
Any word on that out there in movieland Jim?
