Royston Ellis first became known to his thousands of readers as the 'laureate of the beatnik generation'. Probably no-one knows better the sometimes cruel methods by which a personality is shaped into a satisfactory image for the fans. In this novel his hero - fictional but based on a solid knowledge of the world he inhabits - is shown at the frenzied end of the needle with which they prised him from his roots.
