Waterside Productions Announces John Lockton's Second Novel The Prisoner of Secrets
The Californer/10255003

CARDIFF BY THE SEA, Calif. - Californer -- The Prisoner of Secrets brings to life the largely untold story of the American origins of the Holocaust and sets it in a repressive New England school. A reviewer has said, "John Lockton's ability to channel the voice, feelings and internal struggles of his adolescent heroes is on par with J. D. Salinger, Dickens and Golding rolled into one. Quite a gift."

For lovers of Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, and anyone else who enjoys a marvelous read, the most rare and precious thing, a brand-new classic, totally engrossing. This is a big, sprawling novel that gives a new perspective on what happened in the US and Germany during WWII. It is utterly contemporary in its themes—causes of discrimination, white entitlement, child abuse, family dysfunction. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you won't put it down as Justin follows his secrets to an unforgettable conclusion.
