Books:
“Donkey Punch stomps, a ferocious asskicker of a novel. Ray Banks writes with swagger, venomous drollery and a good hard eye for details that matter The characters he creates hang in the mind, spilling beer, fumbling for smokes, wandering into crimes that simply happen without much advance planning—that is, Donkey Punch presents a stunningly warped reflection of life as we know it in some neighborhoods.â€- Daniel Woodrell, author of The Death Of Sweet Mister and Winter’s Bone.
“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. And Donkey Punch – even without the benefit of reading Saturday’s Child – confirms his status as one of the best crime writers working in the UK today.â€
- Russel McLean, Crime Scene Scotland
“Vivid and realistic, with an appealingly flawed hero and an interesting setting amid the underside of modern LA, this is a knockout.â€
- Scotland on Sunday
