"Chicago, 1957: Three desperate men. Two weeks. One fight." "Bobby "The Lip" Lipranski - a down-on-his-luck sports promoter who owns the syndicate for a heroin deal gone bad. Al Kelly - a burnt-out bookie. Junior Hamilton - a black fighter who's fighting for his life. There are fourteen days to go before the big night, and the only way forward is to fix the fight. The odds are high, the bets are coming in, but then things start to go wrong."--BOOK JACKET.
Monroe writes in a slangy, gritty, knife-edged style that packs a big wallop...Monroe's debut is a welcome addition to the genre.

'57, Chicago
It took some pages to get into this story of boxing promotion, bookmaking, and the mob but once it started moving it was a ride I stayed on till the end. It includes some sex and violence and racial epithets, a bit of talk of the troubles of making book, and not enough talk about Chicago itself, but the many characters are memorable and the plot drives relentlessly toward the bout when everyone's fate will be decided.
