Acid Song

Longacre Press 2008 Paperback, 198pp. Itâ€™s election day in contemporary New Zealand. A young father confronts a teenage burglar. A psychologistâ€™s political stand threatens to see him driven from the university community. A staffroom argument flares up â€“ does a playÂground fight warrant a studentâ€™s expulsion? A young girl sets about mending her broken heart, a skinhead riot erupts and Richard, the biology lecturer at the heart of this simmering forty-eight hours, must deal with the secret which compels them all, unknowingly, to the same conclusion. In Acid Song, an absorbing and darting novel, a varied cast of characters is linked by chance and circumstance. With a powerful, addictive intensity Bernard Beckett composes a corrosive song of our times. (ISBN: 9781877460111). Very good.

Deep Fried

Longacre Press 2005 Paperback, 198pp. 'DEEP FRIED' is a fascinating mixture of intrigue, psychological thriller and rebel-of-the-moment youth culture.Peter and Charlotte are itchy bored by life. They decide through a chance happening to take on a corporate giant (a very large corporate giant cleverly disguised as the Prince of Burgers). Using the media and the internet, they quickly gather quite a following. However, the corporate giant fights back using some very slick enticements and snares to really test the ethical and moral fortitude of our hero and his catwoman.The pitfalls and seductions of the internet are nicely drawn, there's some rather obsessive stalker behaviour, not to mention chat rooms and hackers, lots of suspense and a great thriller ending. Politically savvy, fast-paced and compelling 'DEEP FRIED' tests the temperature of the disenchanted.A standout novel featuring the debut of Clare Knighton along with veteran writer for teens, Bernard Beckett. (ISBN: 9781877361111). Good.

Home Boys

Longacre Press 2003 Paperback, 240pp. Imagine you live in London immediately following the Second World War. Imagine you've been told to pack your bag, but not told where you're going. Or for how long. Imagine you are sent halfway across the world because someone thinks it will be better for you. This is what happened to Colin. This is his story. And Dougal's. Bernard Beckett's powerful novel HOME BOYS captures the world of two boys on the run. Two boys who need each other. Two boys in search of a place to belong. An exceptional story; tender as it is brutal, spirited as it is heartbreaking. (ISBN: 9781877135880). Very good.
