4.9/5 (11540 ratings)

Description:For the very first time, all four Cal Innes novels plus an exlusive short story collection are available in an omnibus edition - SATURDAY'S CHILD #1 - SUCKER PUNCH #2 - NO MORE HEROES #3 - BEAST OF BURDEN #4 - DIRTY WORK (collected Cal Innes short stories) From the introduction by Kevin Burton Smith: Read as a whole, the Cal Innes stories are a testament to loyalty and love, and a stab in the eye to complacency and trendy disenchantment. The conclusion of the final book, Beast of Burden, is as raw and morally and emotionally complex as anything Hammett or Cain or McCoy - or Shakespeare, Hemingway or Hugo or any other writer - ever wrote. The Cal Innes books matter because in these books, ultimately, people matter. PRAISE FOR THE CAL INNES NOVELS BY RAY BANKS Ray Banks writes with harshness, humour and elegance, and his punchy dialogue teems with vigorous authenticity. ? The Times Tough and assured... Banks is updating the noir novel with an utterly original sensibility. - Publisher's Weekly Bleakly, desperately funny, Ray Banks offers us a glimpse of what Samuel Beckett might have read like had he turned his hand to crime fiction. - Crime Always Pays 'Saturday's Child' is a knock-out, written with the kind of energy and passion that far too few writers can muster. Fresh and fierce, it raises the bar for hardboiled fiction on both sides of the Atlantic. - New York Times Bestseller Laura Lippman, author of What The Dead Know 'Saturday's Child' is fascinating, fresh and darkly funny. It will be an exotic entertainment for American readers of hard-boiled detective fiction. - Thomas Perry, author of Nightlife Banks is part of the post-Rankin generation for whom hardboiled is not just a state of mind but a reality. Tough-guy colloquial prose and a pace fast enough to skin a rabbit, at the service of a tale of down-and-dirty realism: this is fiery stuff. - Maxim Jakubowski, The Guardian The writing's so urgent, so brutal, and just so obscenely real that it creates a whole new kind of 'dark' for a genre that's become a trifle stagnated in recent years. Hence this is a book anyone who's fallen out of love with the genre in these recent times, where the old quality has been severely lacking, simply needs to read. - Chris Pickering, Bookmunch ...terrific, brooding and chilling prose -Tom Adair, The Scotsman ...a fine example of energetic, visceral and compelling storytelling... This is properly thrilling stuff. - The Big Issue In ScotlandWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
