- Summary
- Entering the ring are some of America's greatest mystery writers challenging boxing, one of the world's oldest sports. Readers are provided front row seats as heavyweight authors provide knock-out combinations for your reading pleasure. While each story stands alone as a masterful mystery, the combination of such fine writing against the backdrop of the shadowy violent world of boxing leads to a greater appreciation of both crafts.
