Cal's babysitting job swiftly turns into something more sinister, as rumours of a rigged competition fly around. As his codeine habit and Liam's temper grow out of control, the City of Angels doesn't seem quite so heavenly.

Donkey Punch Reviews

'Ray Banks steps up into the majors. This is already the best UK novel of the year and I'd love to read what tops it.' KEN BRUEN on Saturday's Child 'British noir in all its splendour by a writer who has taken more than just an excursion on the dark side.' THE GUARDIAN 'Donkey Punch hooks you with its emotional honesty, knocks the wind out of you with its relentless prose, and holds you in its inescapable clinch with a rippling-muscled plot. It's a ringside seat at a boxing match between Jim Thompson and Charles Bukowski refereed by Chuck Palahniuk. Ray Banks is the UK Heavyweight champ of literary noir.' ALLAN GUTHRIE
