Charlie McQuaker's blistering Die Hard Mod ...
`One perfect summer, Steve the Mod got his kicks with the beautiful but wild Jeanie - now life's just giving him a right good kicking...
Set in the troubled back streets of Belfast and the thrill-seeking underworld of Brighton, Die Hard Mod is a fast-paced tale of lust, love, friendship and righteous retribution.'
Charlie McQuaker's Die Hard Mod is not only a rush of a read, it looks great too.
The book has a beautiful retro cover with an aged look that gives the impression that it's an old Seventies's paperback - maybe by Richard Allen ( in fact McQuaker says 'I thought I'd have a bash at doing my own version of what I imagined Richard Allen did with the `Skinhead series of books thoug I've never actually read any of them!) -that has been stuffed in someones back pocket for about twenty years.
It's perfectly paced, in pint sized chapters and is a great hangover cure.
Don't start it in a Sunday night, though, because you'll probably throw a sicky on Monday morning so you can finish it.
Die Hard Mod is the latest
