Beschreibung

Inside the squared circle of the boxing ring, a young man fights for a future with the woman he loves. London captures the raw physical intensity and the psychological pressure of the prize-fighting world. This novella is a lean, high-stakes drama that explores the sacrifices made in the pursuit of glory and stability. It is a knockout story of passion, grit, and the cruel whims of fate.

    Maybe this is a ghost story . . . 
     
     
     
    Andrew Larimer has left his past behind. Rising up the ranks in a New York law firm, and with a heavily pregnant wife, he is settling into a new life far from Kingsport, the town in which he grew up. But when he receives a late-night phone call from an old friend, he has no choice but to return home. 
     
     
     
    Coming home means returning to his late father's house, which has seen better days. It means lying to his wife. But it also means reuniting with his friends: Eric, now the town's sheriff; Dale, a real-estate mogul living in the shadow of a failed career; his childhood sweetheart Tig who never could escape town; and poor Meach, whose ravings about a curse upon the group have driven him to drugs and alcohol. 
     
     
     
    Together, the five friends will have to confront the memories—and the horror—of a night, years ago, that changed everything for them. 
     
     
     
    Because Andrew and his friends have a secret. A thing they have kept to themselves for twenty years. Something no one else should know. But the past is not dead, and Kingsport is a town with secrets of its own.
