Book Description:   Black Leather and Blue Denim, A '50s Novel is adult literature for anyone who likes or loves 1950s' teen' culture, and it might just be the ultimate '50s book that captures the innocence of teen' life and also the danger, the adventure and the tragedy of '50s greaser' gang conflict. The story involves a turf/power struggle between two Pennsylvania greaser' gangs, the Diablos and the Kamikazes. The K's are a band of ruthless thugs that terrorize eggheads ('50s brainiacs), jocks and other greasers. J.W. organizes the Diablos to protect his friends and himself from the barbaric Kamikazes. J.W. has "a crush" on Angle Palermo, whose father is a Mafia drug and pornography distributor that has business ties to the Kamikazes. A series of pranks between the two gangs escalate into life-threatening situations. More trouble arises when Quinn, leader of the Diablos befriends Marcus Spellman, a young black mechanic who works on Quinn's '42 Ford coupe. Quinn invites Marcus to join the Diablos, and this event causes internal strife within J.W.s gang and external conflict with the racist redneck' Kamikazes. When Marcus and his family move into J.W.s neighborhood, the Diablos must take an unpopular stand against Kamikaze and community racial prejudice. Black Leather and Blue Denim captures the feel and the spirit of the '50s. The music, hot cars, the drag races, the slang, the drive-in movies, the hang outs, the malt shops, the sock hops, the popular pinball machines and intense rivalry and competition between greaser gangs is all realistically represented. BL&BD is a nostalgic look back toward an age of innocence where the so-called "Happy Days" might have been just as dangerous as teen life is today.
