From the beginning, Jim Thompson knew he was going to catch hell no
matter what he did. And during a childhood spent at the mercy of a
father whose schemes put him on the wrong side of the law as often
as the right, and a grandfather who knew the bad parts of town like
the back of his hand, young Jim learned sin better than any writer
had before.
From his rabble-rousing adolescencein the American Midwest, to
wasted teenage years in the seedy underbelly of the hotel industry,
to Thompson's chilling encounter with the real-life inspiration of
THE KILLER INSIDE ME, BAD BOY offers a fascinating glimpse at the
formative years of the man who would become one of the most famous
authors of modern American Noir, in the autobiography-as-novel that
follows the birth of the legend himself in the signature style
Thompson made famous.
