Stories For Sunday: Banks, Dark & Duffy.



Ray Banks is one of the best writers around, he really is. He writes gritty and witty crime stories, usually set in the north of England, and his Call Innes quartet is a great example of how to write a realistic  P I series. 


In the latest issue of The Crime Factory, however, he takes us over to Prague with a bleak and brilliant story called The Travel Agent. A bit of a departure for Banks but as excellent as always.




Up and coming crime writer Mark Dark's hard hitting Man Or Mouse is the gangland set story of  a footsoldier wanting to rise up in the ranks. A whip crack of hard boiled crime writing from a name to watch out for.




The Drunk On the Moon series continues to bend genres with Frank Duffy's typically wonderful take on Roman Dalton, werewolf private detective.


A cold blooded killer. A mysterious man with a past cloaked in shadows. Dark, delirious dreams of strange worlds. Frank Duffy's Blood and Alcohois P I Roman Dalton's most haunting story yet.
