Review: A fight to the finish

I don't read this sort of fiction normally, but wanted to give it a shot for the Noir accent.Nick, protagonist and reporter, is a gritty, hooch-swilling, dame-chasing regular guy with a sharp wit and tongue to match. When he's approached to write the script for a champion boxer, he's got his work cut out for him. Something or some things just don't add up. Locations shift, characters throw hard punches and the writing lopes with an almost lyrical rhythm. The ending was tied up nice and tight--bonus for the overall brevity of the work.A fun, quick read, even if boxing/sports aren't your cup of tea.
