A brilliant, hallucinatory mixture of Boys’ Own adventure, psychological thriller, small-town saga and family farce.

Fourteen-year-old Neddy Poindexter and his mate Les take swift revenge on the chook-rustling Lynch Gang, but things turn sinister when vulture-like Hubert Salter stalks into Klynham. There’s a sex killer on the loose, and Neddy is in deep fear for the safety of his sister.

In this lost masterpiece, first published in 1963, forgotten New Zealand writer Ronald Hugh Morrieson creates a vision of growing up distinctively his own.

'Infections warmth and gusto ... one of the most unusual and original novels published in this country for many a long day.' Sydney Morning Herald
