Jack Levitt, abandoned at birth during the 1929 crisis, grows up in the greyness of Portland among orphanages, reformatories and prisons.

For readers of crime fiction and classics of American literature, especially those seeking portraits of marginalised characters.
Don Carpenter was an American writer, best known as the author of Hard Rain Falling. He wrote numerous novels, novellas, short stories and screenplays over the course of a 22-year career that took him from a childhood in Berkeley, California and the Pacific Northwest to Hollywood. A close observer of human frailty, his writing depicted marginal characters like pool sharks, prisoners, and drug dealers, as well as movie moguls and struggling actors.
