The cult underground prison novel about survival, dignity, friendship and insubordination is an underground classic, reprinted at last. Morgan, a 26-year-old white female convict, works in the prison law library, dispensing free legal advice and not-so-free hooch. She has friends and enemies and all are trying to get through without getting caught or going straight, but there's just one catch: a bloodstained bank account that everyone wants, including some players on the outside. Read it, it will devour you.' - Barry Gifford, creator of Sailor and Lula.'
"Vicious, funny, cunning, ruthless, explicit...a tough original look at inside loves and larcenies."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Where else can you find the grittiness of girls-behind-bars mixed with intelligence, brilliant prose, and emotional ferocity Sin Soracco sets the standard for prison writing. Hardboiled and with brains!"
--Peter Maravelis, editor of San Francisco Noir 1 and 2
"Tells a gripping story concerning a group of women in a California prison: their crimes, their relationships, their hopes and dreams."
--Publishers Weekly
"Sin Soracco is the original Black Lizard. Low Bite will take a chunk out of your leg if not your heart. Read it, it will devour you."
