Down below, like some gigantic monster from Earth's dark past, a moving van waited in the mist. Judging the distance as best he could, Joe leaped into space . . .
Get Joe Hawkins! Vicious former skinhead Joe Hawkins has done a runner from prison. On the lam, he cuts a swathe through England's heartland, sex and violence very much on his mind. Newly equipped with a shooter, Joe pals up with armed robbers, evading the coppers by a whisker. But Joe's now a marked man - a powerful criminal is gunning for him, with no plans to quit until he's found his target. Even Joe's never been in this tight a spot before . . .
Skinhead Escapes (1972) was the third book in Richard Allen's bestselling Skinhead series, one of the most potent artefacts of British popular culture ever committed to print.
I did happen to read Skinhead when it came out and I was quite interested in the whole Richard Allen cult . . . suedeheads and skinheads and smoothies were very much part of daily life. There was a tremendous air of intensity . . . something interesting grabbed me about the whole thing. Morrissey
(Richard Allen's) work shouldn't require a theoretical summing up, once enough of those to whom it appeals understand its attraction we will have superceded this society. Stewart Home
