The Stink by CC Hogan

By Book Goodies Leave a Comment

North London, 1976. The longest, hottest summer on record. There are strikes, the water is running out and the kids hate their parents. Which bunch of idiots would think it is a good idea to start a band?

By Book Goodies Leave a Comment

In the summer of 1971, Dallas Green and Lonnie McKay made a spur-of-the-moment decision to leave their hot, dusty farming town and head south to Mexico in Lonnie's 1965 Chevy.
