At the Harrogate Crime Fest the other week - which by the way
is shaping up as a very nice annual UK event - I heard some
great stories about Ross Thomas' one and only publicity trip
to the UK back in the late 70s. Suffice to say there was no
way any publisher was going to invite him back after that
one. I had no idea Thomas was as wild as his books.
Anyway that inspired me to do a little Thomas related
googling and I stumpled upon this remarkable piece of prison
memoir (not by Thomas) which I suspect some list members
might enjoy. Here's the link -

the first section in particular is about as hardboiled as it
comes. Anyone know anything about the author?
