Product Description
Aging Amos "Scrap Iron" Fletcher has finally made it to Vegas, only to lose his first big-league fight and be falsely accused of selling secrets to his sparring partner's opponent. So he heads back to Trenton and hooks up with TNT, a reckless but kindhearted young boxer who's also down on his luck. With a little help from the spirit of Sonny Liston, Amos trains TNT for a series of high-profile fights and launches a daring gambit to reclaim his own reputation.

Editorial Reviews
New York Times Book Review
"DeVido's writing shows quiet purpose in every move, carrying an insider knowledge and easy confidence ... an unsentimental payload carried by the most sentimental of narratives, a story of redemption."
