It is a fascinating study of evil, sin, and the "appalling strangeness of the mercy of God," a classic of its kind. Set in Brighton, England, among the criminal rabble, the book depicts the tragic career of a seventeen-year-old boy named Pinkie whose primary ambition is to lead a gang to rival that of the wealthy and established Colleoni. Pinkie is devoid of compassion or human feeling, despising weakness of the spirit or of the flesh. Responsible for the razor slashes that killed Kite and also for the death of Hale, he is the embodiment of calculated evil. As a Catholic, however, he is convinced that his retribution does not lie in human hands. He is therefore not prepared for Ida Arnold, Hale's avenging angel. Ida, whose allegiance is with life, the here and now, has her own ideas about the circumstances surrounding Hale's death. For the sheer joy of it she takes up the challenge of bringing the infernal Pinkie to an earthly kind of justice. When finished, the listener is sure to ponder some lofty moral issues to which Greene, a Catholic writer, withholds easy judgments. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Gangs $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Brown, Richard $q (Philip Richard) $4 nrt 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/10078325 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9781441703880_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011656.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=225478D8A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
