A Few Kind Words and a Loaded Gun: The Autobiography of a Career CriminalA Few Kind Words and a Loaded Gun is the autobiography of convicted criminal Noel Razor Smith. An extraordinarily vivid account of how a tearaway kid from South London became a career criminal, it is both a searing indictment of a system that determinedly brutalized young offenders and a frank, unsentimental acknowledgement of the thrills of the criminal life. Shocking, fascinating and frightening by turns, it also reveals Razor Smith to be a remarkably talented writer. |
