Nora ran off with twenty grand, a gram of coke, and his favourite leather jacket, leaving him with little more than a hangover and a Dido soundtrack.

When this pair catch up with Nora and her ex, there’s going to be hell to pay… 'cause nobody messes with Farrell and Cobb.Wolf Tickets is hardcore Ray Banks – ballsy, breathless and brutal.Praise for Ray Banks"Ray Banks writes with harshness, humour and elegance, and his punchy dialogue teems with vigorous authenticity." – The Times"Banks is one of the freshest voices in hard-boiled crime fiction today." – Library Journal"Banks has an ear for the vernacular as sharp as, but a shade or two bluer than, that of George V. Higgins. Let the squeamish stick with Tony Soprano; this is the real tough stuff." – Kirkus"Banks has a Cain-esque ability (James M., not Abel’s brother) to take well-drawn, realistic characters whose moral compass is wobbling, and let them slash and burn their way to ruin." – Spinetingler Magazine"Most people sound a bit girly compared to Ray Banks" – Mark BillinghamAbout the authorRay Banks is the author of the Cal Innes Quartet (Saturday's Child, Donkey Punch, No More Heroes, Beast Of Burden), Dead Money, and the novellas, Gun and California.
