From the Back Cover:
"Sucker 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, Sucker Punch presents a stunningly warped reflection of life as we know it in some neighborhoods."?Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter’s Bone
"Sucker Punch hooks you with its emotional honesty, knocks the wind out of your with its relentless prose, and holds you in its inescapable clinch with a rippling-muscled plot. It’s a ringside seat at a boxing match between Jim Thompson and Charles Bukowski refereed by Chuck Palahniuk. Ray Banks is the UK Heavyweight champ of literary noir."?Allan Guthrie, author of Savage Night
