Overview:

In the tradition of James Ellroy and Elmore Leonard, a hard-boiled thriller set in 1950s Chicago during the tense buildup to a high-stakes boxing match. Bobby the Lip, a scheming down-on-his-luck sports promoter, intends to score big by setting up--and fixing--a bout between Tomcat Gordon, the reigning heavyweight champion, and Junior, a young black contender. But everyone wants a piece of the action, and the Lip soon finds himself having to outsmart a hungry little crowd of crooks, bookies, detectives, and mob goons.
