Fast making his way into my favourite author list, Ray Banks.
This writer gets better with every new instalment and well, he wasn't half bad to begin with. Innes is a fantastic main character. You find yourself behind him (almost) all the way and it is his frailties that really endear him to the reader. The story as well is impressive because of the obvious work that must've gone into researching boxing, Los Angeles and the darker side of human nature. I am going to hold half a star though because I have another of this author's books to read and I fully expect that he may even improve more. Perhaps if he can throw in the odd unexpected twist that you can't really see coming or make Innes' judgement that bit more believeable. I did say behind him almost all the way. I'm looking forward to finding out.
