It's a simple enough job for a very dangerous man - go to the Leam Lane estate, pick up a converted air pistol from a guy called Florida Al, bring it back in one piece. But Richie - fresh out of the YOI and about to be a dad - has just lost the gun to a bunch of young thugs. And Goose isn't the kind of bloke who gives second chances ...
GUN - previously published by Crime Express, now an e-dition with a brand new introduction by Martyn Waites.
Praise for GUN:
"GUN is arguably the purest example of what makes Ray Banks the most singular voice in crime fiction today." - Spinetingler
"GUN is quick and dirty crime fiction. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed." - The Electric Mayhem
"GUN is a buy in the morning and devour by the afternoon mini-masterpiece." - Tony Black, author of TRUTH LIES BLEEDING
Praise for Ray Banks:
"Banks is one of the freshest voices in hard-boiled crime fiction today." - Library Journal
"Ray Banks writes with harshness, humour and elegance, and his punchy dialogue teems with vigorous authenticity." - The Times
"Banks has an ear for the vernacular as sharp as, but a shade or two bluer than, that of George V. Higgins. Let the squeamish stick with Tony Soprano; this is the real tough stuff." - Kirkus
"Quick, sharp and emotionally raw, reading Banks is like a dinner of blowfish with a sociopathic chef serving up a slice of death on a plate. One bad cut and it could all go wrong, but when it's served with skill, it's an adrenaline rush." _ Crimespree Magazine
"Lots of neo-noir's young tyros can punch -- and Banks can punch as hard as the best of them -- but he also has the heart and soul to back it up." - January Magazine
"For those bored with the traditional approach of crime and mystery series – who know that there is more to be found in the big, bad world of crime fiction – Banks is the man. His books are smart, unpredictable and, above all, dangerous." - Crime Scene Scotland
"For my money one of the top crime writers currently operating in Britain." - Martyn Waites
