Satan's Spy
by André Le GalloWe first meet Steve Church on a business trip in Bahrain where terrorists attempt to take over the hotel where he is staying. Using prior CIA training and tradecraft, Steve is able to blunt the attack until the police arrive. On the same day, the Director of the National Clandestine Service at the CIA calls to tell him that she wants to see him urgently. Steve, not knowing the nature of her interest, is conflicted. He is not wild about getting involved again with an overly bureaucratic CIA, and he knows that another CIA assignment would kill his relationship with his live-in girl friend Kella, a former French intelligence officer. Nevertheless, without being an adrenalin junky, he prefers the excitement of the CIA to working for West Gate, a defense contractor, where he is a fast tracker. Initially astonished and dejected that Steve will again risk his life to obtain information that policy makers will ignore, Kella is unable to change Steve's mind. Not willing to break off the relationship, Kella executes a mental somersault and recruits herself to go with Steve as his communicator.Meanwhile in Iran, the man who will become Steve's nemesis, Ali Mousavi, captures, interrogates and executes a scientist suspected of working for the CIA, the Great Satan's spy agency. He also orders a young American with uncertain loyalties, to Tehran from his home in California to work on a special project. Although Steve's father Marshall is now semi-retired from the CIA (does a spy ever retire?), he recruits an Iranian intelligence operative on a secret mission to the United States. Without a permanent presence in Iran, the CIA turns to Steve to handle the new agent (XYSENTINEL) in Tehran. Under business cover, Steve and Kella take over the case in Tehran. Their initial goal is to collect intelligence on Iran's nuclear plans and capabilities. Instead, they learn that Iran is preparing a massive cyber attack against the United States. Iran's theocracy, humiliated by the American Navy's control of the Persian Gulf, feels that anonymous cyber warfare is the card to play to force the Great Satan' to withdraw from the region. From the start, external factors begin to trump Steve's clandestine tradecraft. At stake is the future of the Middle East, the health of America's economy, and the lives of Steve and Kella. Today's headlines will take on an entirely new meaning after you read Satan's Spy.

With Tiernan s son on his tail, and a Manchester cop determined to put Innes back on the spurs, Saturday s child definitely has to work hard to keep living.</p> <p> PRAISE FOR RAY BANKS'S CAL INNES NOVELS</p> <p> "Ray Banks writes with harshness, humour and elegance, and his punchy dialogue teems with vigorous authenticity." – The Times</p> <p> "Tough and assured . . . Banks is updating the noir novel with an utterly original sensibility."<br /> - Publisher's Weekly</p> <p> "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."<br /> - Crime Always Pays</p> <p> "Ray Banks’s writing is a dark delight, and 'Saturday's Child' is like blunt surgery from a cricket bat. Fast, hard, packed with madcap violence and twisted humor, it’s a bone-jarring ride through England’s bleak underbelly."<br /> - Patrick Quinlan, author of Smoked</p> <p> "'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."<br /> - New York Times Bestseller Laura Lippman, author of What The Dead Know</p> <p> "Banks wields language with a knifefighter's precision, with much the same result.

This is properly thrilling stuff."<br /> - The Big Issue In Scotland</p> <p> "Let's make this official then: 'Saturday's Child' is not only an excellent book, but it manages to do something which is damn near impossible to pull off: keep straight two first-person POVs written in different tenses and completely different dialects. Wait for the cricket bat, but the real gems are the incredibly strong voice, Cal's further descent into hell and how profoundly screwed up families can really be."<br /> - Sarah Weinman in her Idiosyncratic Pick Of The Week.</p> <p> <br /> About the author:</p> <p> Ray Banks is the author of the Cal Innes Quartet (SATURDAY'S CHILD, SUCKER PUNCH, NO MORE HEROES, BEAST OF BURDEN), DEAD MONEY, WOLF TICKETS, MATADOR, INSIDE STRAIGHT, the novellas GUN and CALIFORNIA, and the short story collections WRONG 'EM BOYO and DIRTY WORK.
