Ron Decker is a newbie, a drug dealer whose shot at a short two-year stint in the can is threatened from inside and outside. He's got to keep a spotless record or it's ten to life. But at San Quentin, no man can steer clear of the Brotherhoods, the race wars, the relentlessness. It soon becomes clear that some inmates are more equal than others; Earl Copen is one of them, an old-timer who has learned not just to survive but to thrive behind bars. Not much can surprise him-but the bond he forms with Ron startles them both; it's a true education of a felon.

A terrifying and brutal narrative, the novel tracks his lawless spree in the company of two other reform school alumni, Diesel Carson and Mad Dog Cain. Dog Eat Dog is a novel of excruciating authenticity, with great moral and social resonance, and it could only have been written by Edward Bunker, who has been there.

The only constant in Alex's life is no-good, criminally-minded peers, who are all too ready to plant illegal ideas in an intelligent mind. Bunker writes, "His unique potential would develop into unique destructiveness."

He spent the next 18 years of his life in prison and effectively wrote his way to freedom. Mr Blue: Memoirs of a Renegade details his early life: roaming the city streets a product of a broken home, his fearsome prison experiences, his associations with the likes of Tennessee Williams and his spell as a fugitive. It culminates with the publishing of his first novel No Beast So Fierce, which Tarantino regarded as one of the finest crime novels written. There is a deep cynicism to Bunker's writing (who could blame him?) but it is overridden by a hardened optimism that you will come to respect. He expertly details the ferocity of prison life, especially his experiences at Folsom, where he witnessed savage race riots: "In a world absolutely integrated ... the cell offered no safety ... racial hatred was malevolent and intractable."Mr Blue: Memoirs of a Renegade is not a tale of a man revelling in his dubious abilities. Rather, it is a hard-as-nails narrative of someone trying to go straight in a world that won't let him but ultimately uses his writing skills as a redemptive tool to "make a lotus grow from the mud." Given the vast, violent odds he faced, miraculously it did grow in a most storming fashion. --Danny Graydon
