This is a novel for people with breeding.

Only people with the right genes and the wrong impulses will find its marriage of bold ideas and deplorable characters irresistible. It is a novel that engages the mind while satisfying those that crave the thrill of a chase.

There are riots and sex. There is love and murder. There is Darwinism and Fascism, nightclubs, invented languages and the dangerous bravado of youth. And there are lots of beetles.

It is clever. It is distinctive. It is entertaining.

We hope you are too.

Industry Reviews

An astonishing debut...buzzing with energy, fizzing with ideas, intoxicating in its language, BOXER, BEETLE is sexy, intelligent and deliriously funny - Jake Arnott

A rambunctious, deftly-plotted delight of a debut - Observer

Astonishingly assured...Beauman writes with real flair and invention...Many first novels are judged promising. Boxer, Beetle arrives fully formed: original, exhilarating and hugely enjoyable. - Peter Parker, Sunday Times

Frighteningly assured - Independent on Sunday

There are politics, black comedy, experimentation and wild originality - and I haven't even got to the beetles. Terrific. - Times

Debut bout is a real knockout... dazzling - The Daily Express

Its ambitions are enormous, in terms of the range, energy and quality of the writing - Literary Review

As in PG Wodehouse and the early Martin Amis the tone is mischievous and impudent without being merely jaunty or wacky...in Erskine and Broom we have two endlessly curios heroes whose thoughts are fascinating even at their silliest. - Daily Express
