...Tough Scene. Teacher Duskin started out as a perfectly conventional creep. The son of a San Francisco textile manufacturer, he went from the Marine Corps and Stanford to teaching freshman English at San Francisco State College.

Such parlor pleasantries accounted for the sale of 32 million paperback copies of Spillane's seven previous titles. The new boy, a hardrock who shows up to take over his neighborhood gang after 25 years of mysterious absence, will never...
