In 1974 Paddy Joe Hill was charged alongside five other men with the biggest mass murder on the British mainland - the Birmingham pub bombings. Arrested and brutally beaten by members of the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad (since disbanded), Hill was condemned by false scientific evidence.

Disturbingly frank about his own rage and fear, Hill evokes the events leading up to his arrest, his rebellions against the system, his gradual alienation from his family, the nail-biting appeals, the elation of at last regaining his freedom. Released from the culture of violence in Britain's prison system, Hill offers constructive ideas about judicial and penal reform and an account of the pain of readjustment in the outside world.

Stephen King és fia, Joe Hill két közös elbeszélését olvashatjuk ebben a kis kötetben. A Teljes gázzal 2009-ben jelent meg először angolul, A magas fűben pedig 2012-ben. Előbbit Richard Matheson 1971-es novellája, a Párbaj ihlette, amely egy motorosról és az országúton őt üldöző eszelős kamionosról szól, és akkor vált legendássá, amikor a fiatal Steven Spielberg megfilmesítette. A Teljes gázzal valódi főhajtás a Párbaj írója előtt. A történet a rajtvonaltól kezdve teljes gázzal száguld. Nem így kötetünk másik írása, A magas fűben, amely körbe-körbe ődöng, révület, eltévelyedés, lázálom és ráolvasásszerű rigmusok köreit teljesíti, de ez az irányvesztettség, ha lehet, még dermesztőbb. Joe Hill és Stephen King mind ez idáig nem adott ki több közös történetet. Mit is mondhatnánk: várjuk a továbbiakat!

With him, in his subterranean cell, is an antique phone, long since disconnected but it rings at night, anyway, with calls from the dead.
