And when the ambassador_s sons Joe and Jack Kennedy discover the body of a man in Cliveden_s grounds, Verity is dismayed to recognize the dead man as a former journalistic colleague from the civil war which still rages in Spain.

A firebomb attack at a Plummer property thrusts Cal into the spotlight as he saves a child from the burning building. But when Plummer enlists his help to track down the arsonists, Cal 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 Cal Innes is the closest it has. PRAISE FOR RAY BANKS'S CAL INNES NOVELS 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 Ray BanksOCOs 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, itOCOs a bone-jarring ride through EnglandOCOs bleak underbelly. - Patrick Quinlan, author of Smoked '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 wields language with a knifefighter's precision, with much the same result. From the first words to the last, this book flashes brilliantly. - Don Winslow, The Power Of The Dog and The Winter of Frankie Machine. 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 Scotland"
