About This Item
Advance Reading Copy of the second Cal Innes novel. Originally published in 2007 under the title Donkey Punch in the UK. This is the first time it's been published in the US. In fine unread condition.
Synopsis
Cal Innes is back, in a “ferocious asskicker of a novel” (Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter’s Bone), visiting the City of Angels for a boxing tournament that turns deadly. In this, the second Cal Innes novel, Cal is looking forward to continuing his job as caretaker at Paulo’s gym without the barbed-wire collar of parole. But a prodigal amateur boxer named Liam needs someone to go with him to his first major tournament in Los Angeles, and with rumors of a rigged competition, Cal’s babysitting job swiftly turns into something dangerous. As his codeine habit and Liam’s temper spin out of control, Cal finds himself in the desert, staring down the barrel of a gun. Suddenly the City of Angels doesn’t seem quite so heavenly. With his trademark dark humor, emotional acuity, and pulse-pounding action, Ray Banks takes Cal Innes, the “P.I. who always pays the price” (Boston Globe), where he has never gone before.

About Scene of the Crime Books, ABAC, IOBA
My wife and I have been operating Scene of the Crime Books since 1996. In 2004 we attempted to go against the market and open a storefront on Oakville Ontario. In August 2006 we closed the brick and mortar and humbly went back to just internet. We now do internet and appointment only through our home. So if you're in our neighborhood let us know 24 hours ahead of time. Thank you. Don Longmuir
