The Professional
Heinz's first novel offers the story of boxer Eddie Brown and  his manager, Doc Carroll, on their way to a shot at the  middleweight championship title. Since its 1958 publication, the  book has garnered a loyal following of fans, including Ernest  Hemingway, who declared it "the only good novel I've ever read  about a fighter." This edition includes a terrific new foreword  by Elmore Leonard.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
