Junkie Pilgrim
By
Junkie Pilgrim is a raw tale of addiction and murder that moves between the dark underside of Sydney’s waterfront and the alleyways of Kings Cross.
“You won’t get grittier. This is low life, full-on and distasteful, done with real literary class.” Gerard Windsor
“Junkie Pilgrim takes us along the smack trails of Kings Cross, amid the murderous architectures and secret knowledges of the Sydney waterfront and into the satanic recesses of the Long Bay Jail.This journey becomes a Dante-esque trek through the landscapes of the soul.” Peter Doyle
