Barracuda is the seventh novel by Australian author Christos Tsiolkas. Released on 26 October 2013 by Allen & Unwin, it was the follow-up to Tsiolkas' award-winning breakthrough 2008 novel The Slap. The story is told across two time periods in alternating chapters, chronicling the teenage years of swimmer Danny Kelly at a prestigious Melbourne high school in the 1990s, and an older Danny's life in Glasgow following his release from prison.
