No More Heroes (Cal Innes Novels)

by RayBanks (Author)

Synopsis

It's Manchester's hottest summer on record and while Callum Innes evicts families on behalf of local slum lord Donald Plummer, the English National Socialists stir up racial tensions to breaking point. A firebomb attack at a Plummer property thrusts Innes into the spotlight as he saves a child from the burning building. But when Plummer enlists his help to track down the arsonists, Innes finds himself dealing with more than the ENS and his rapidly overwhelming codeine addiction. Time's running out and the temperature keeps rising. Manchester needs a hero and Callum Innes is the closest it has.

Media Reviews
'Banks is part of the post-Rankin generation for whom hardboiled is not just a state of mind but a reality.' The Guardian'Ray Banks is a superb writer who has a tight grip on his descriptivetoning and who is making his dialogue snappier and moreblack-humoured with every outing.' Shots
Author Bio
Ray Banks was born in Kirkcaldy and now lives in the middle of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He went to school. He wentto university for two years before he dropped out, something he insists was an achievement. After that, he spent his time as a double-glazing salesman, croupier - he left after the casino was ramraided by armed gunmen - and dole monkey. He thinks he's a cult. He's almost right.
