John Bekker is called back to action when his close friend Sheriff Jane Morgan seeks his help with a perplexing mystery.
Norman Felton, a resident of Midnight Island, drove his car to the mainland county high school and, in an out-of-control rage, beat an exchange student nearly to death with a baseball bat before being shot by sheriff's deputies. Felton's fourteen-year-old daughter Amanda is missing, and with each passing day the odds of finding her grow slimmer. Bekker works around the clock ferreting out details until slowly the puzzle comes together and he makes a shocking discovery that will take him to a dark and dangerous place.

"This Side of Midnight" is the fourth John Bekker novel by Al Lamanda. I began reading this series from the start and must say it is one of my favorite 'must read' series of novels. Bekker is called by his friend sheriff Jane Morgan to help her with a perplexing mystery. She shows a video of Norman Felton clubbing a foreign exchange student, Ubaldo Montero, with a baseball bat. When the deputies arrive Felton turns the bat on the deputies whose gun fires and hits Felton. Both Felton and Montero are in comas as a result of the incident, but why did Felton attack Montero? To complicate matters Felton's 14 year old daughter Amanda is missing. Bekker sorts through clues, but is thwarted because he can't speak with either Felton or Montero. He gets some clues that shed some light on the reason for the beating as well as finding Amanda. I thought I had figured everything out, but a twist at the end proved me wrong. These novels are plot driven and the only character readers really get to know is John Bekker himself. The personal dynamics are best understood by reading this series in order, even though readers could start with this one. This is a top drawer mystery and highly recommended.Product details

This Side of Midnight A John Bekker Mystery Book 4 edition by Al Lamanda Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I wondered what Bekker would do for an encore. This was far and above what I expected. I couldn't put it down. All Lamanda is does it again!
Another great read in the Becker series. La Manda not only weaves a great story-but his character development makes you yearn to know much more about them-as you you do the ending of the story.
The Question Begs When is this series hitting the Full Screen????? Can't wait for more.....Keep em coming La Manda!!!!
not quite as good as first two but still a good read. Would like to see more of John Bekker. Much better series than Kellerman series.
For some reason, I find myself remembering something out of what I remember in a Robert Heinlein book (maybe Glory Road) where the protagonist is describing how he always needs to read something - even if it's a not-first-rate Fawcett Gold Medal paperback - for him to get to sleep. I've read several of the Bekker novels and - to me - they seem to fulfill a similar function. They're like the books you read when you're waiting for a new book from one of your real favorite authors. They're generally fine. The plots are good. Bekker is an ok protagonist (though - especially in the first two books of the series I find his feats of physical derring-do after coming off a 10-year bout with alcoholism - pretty implausible.) I'm bothered by the fact that his default technique - as well as that of fellow cop Jane - is just to beat the crap out of folks involved in his cases without any indication that this sort of thing has consequences in the real world. And, in the case of this novel, having been involved with hospice care for two people very close to me, I'm hugely bothered by the nonsensical notion that the young girl with stage I cancer who, at the time we meet her, hasn't had even one chemo treatment, is continually described as being in a 'hospice' facility. Really, Al. A bit more research is indicated.
John Bekker keeps getting better and better.. His adventures are fast moving, great dialogue and fascinating characters.
Hope Lamanda keeps this series at the top of his writing!
Overall, I liked the story. What I didn't like is the aggravated assault against a teenager and others. John seemed to stop having moral values and moved into right-wing vigilantism. I am glad that Janet is a thing of the past. She was running the relationship or at least trying she pursued John, she asked John to marry her, she demanded John give up his job, she demanded that he find a job whereby he could be at home with her, and she got upset when he choose not to follow her wishes. He is an alcoholic and he should not have been in any kind of love-based relationship until he figured out who he is. I hope John learns that his fists done solve situations, that he learns to use his instincts and brain cells. He also has a daughter to raise. I hope the sheriff gets back with her spouse.
Got to be one of Al Lamanda's best work. I don't often get "touched" while enjoying a fast paced, action thriller like this one, but you got me with this one. If this one doesn't move you, you can't be moved. Loved it !!
