RARA-AVIS: J.J. Maloney

Sat, 20 Mar 1999 19:56:32 -0500 (EST) Talking about Ted Lewis's Billy Rags and Eddie Bunker's Animal Factory
reminded me of another book about prison, The Chain by J.J. Maloney.
This was the second of two late '70s, early '80s books I know of by
Maloney. The first was I Speak for the Dead, which I remember as a very
good, very dark, hardboiled reporter novel. The Chain was equally
hardboiled, maybe even more so.

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that Maloney did time, maybe even
wrote his books during that time, but I know nothing else. Does anyone
else know anything about him. Did he ever write another book?
