Ten Days, Mister Cain?
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

‘Mr Freeborn’s beat may be the London of mobsters and petty crooks, but somehow he manages to write a kind of poetry about it.’ – New York Times
‘The plot is murkily impenetrable and somewhat implausible, but the pace is hot and Harry an engagingly ingenious villain.’ – Times Literary Supplement
‘The sights and smells of underworld London in the 70s.’ – Express & News
Harry Grant - anti-hero of Good Luck Mister Cain - has been lying low in the States, living off a windfall that wasn't strictly speaking his. The prospect of a payday brings him back to London, but suddenly his friends are avoiding him.
It seems that Mister Cain wants his money back. And Mister Cain, a professional killer, is used to getting what he wants. Up against a grim deadline, Harry needs ten grand in ten days. The alternative is unthinkable.
‘The exhilarating tale of Harry’s tangling with the predators of London’s underworld.’ – London Evening News
‘Rife with taut cynicism that is lightened by occasional shafts of humour.’ – Publishers Weekly
‘Brian Freeborn is a sort of English Damon Runyon, he has the slick lingo of the underworld down pat.’ – Over 21
