Confessions of an ex-gangster. Garrett Adams, one time hoodlum, burglar, dagga-addict and hired gunfighter has turned over a new leaf: Crime is not for him any more. He has learnt that crime does not pay. This is his own story of how he started off on the wrong road, what and who encouraged him. And how a gangster feels when on the run. Dagga-smoking turned Garrett Adams's once innocent and laughing eyes into the sleepy, cunning eyes of a man who lives by violence and cruelty.
