Description

'On the Sunday afternoon, Mervyn Toebeck gate-crashed his life.' And for Cedric, the kid they call 'The Professor', life is never the same again. For young Mervyn and his scary mate 'The Spook' introduce him to a new and frightening world - of theft, of sly grogging, of blackmail. A horrified Cedric soon discovers that major crimes are afoot. When the plan goes wrong and The Spook disappears it's murder ...And who is the mysterious nocturnal watcher in the tower?

This wondrous New Zealand tale delights with the richness of its language and the storytelling skill of the writer, offering a potent mix of psychological insight, tension and comic twist. Movie based on the novel (starring Jemaine Clement, Rose McIver, Heath Franklin, Tim Finn) in theatres Aug 2010.

Author Biography

Ronald Hugh Morrieson (1922-72), novelist and short story writer, lived, wrote and died in Hawera, South Taranaki. Until the age of 37 he worked as a casual dance-band player in the Hawera area, but then became a private music-teacher in order to free his evenings for the career in writing which he had always intended. Morrieson's fear that he might be 'another of those poor buggers who gets discovered when they're dead', was to be cruelly prophetic.
