Produktbeschreibung

MURDER MAYHEM MADNESS MACHO MIRTH Poison Weeds is the story of a young man who goes to prison and manages to survive and grow in the midst of the violence and insanity that make up a large part of prison life. Set in a California prison in the volatile 1960s, the cast of characters is full and rich, the episodes dark and humorous. The roles are given, the dice are cast, the players are true, change is possible for only one. For the others, freedom is an illusion. The guards are no freer than the convicts; Warden Quinlan is as locked to his destiny as inmate Voodoo is to his. Some live, some die; nearly all are devoured by the system. So come along on a journey with this colorful little band through the labyrinth of life and death, deceit and dishonor, and the grim reality of living behind the walls.

Autorenporträt

Marty Slattery's early adventures in life included a brief stint in minor-league baseball and too many years in construction jobs. Eventually, a correspondence course in engineering landed him a job with Hewlett-Packard. Slattery lived in the Rock Mountains with his wife where he wrote in the time the gods and goddesses gave him. Marty died in 2006, but until the end, he loved nothing more than making pilgrimages to minor league parks all across the country.
