About this book
A harrowing portrait of heroin addiction in 1970s Detroit. Teddy and Terry are a young couple whose love is no match for the dope house on the corner — Goines's most unflinching novel.
Critics call it the most devastating anti-drug novel ever written by someone who lived it — required reading alongside Iceberg Slim and Chester Himes in the Black pulp canon.
