A Rebel without a Cause collides with A Clockwork Orange. Manslaughter, death, rebirth, and redemption ensue in the first tale of the Jamie Hurst trilogy (also including "Blackpool Rock" and the two-part "Unearthly Powers"). From Philip Nutman's Cities of Night, this tale is one of a dozen stories leaping from Atlanta to Blackpool, London to New York, from Rome to Albuquerque via the city of Lost Angels--all cities of night.
