New in paperback: the propulsive and gritty sports drama about a biracial MMA fighter that 'thrums with authenticity' (The Times) - for fans of Million Dollar Baby, King Richard and Creed
It's not a comeback. It's a fight for his life.
Xavier "Scarecrow" Wallace is a biracial Black MMA fighter on the wrong side of thirty, who's been given a last-ditch chance to break into the big leagues. He is also losing his battle with pugilistic dementia - a struggle he is desperate to hide.
In the nursing home of his father, a white man suffering from Alzheimer's, Xavier witnesses shocking episodes that expose ugly truths about his past and his family.
And as the big fight draws near, a sparring session with a younger competitor goes horribly wrong, leaving Xavier faced with a dangerous dilemma: throw his match or suffer the deadly consequences.
