A former middleweight disappears into Marrow's Point-a borough that isn't on most maps-and descends into an underground fight circuit run by a wealthy, eccentric impresario. The plan is simple: win, climb, and rob him blind.But someone keeps calling.Same blocked number. Every day.He doesn't answer.The fights get worse.The borough stops making sense.Time skips.The phone keeps ringing.By the time he picks up, he's not sure what he's been running toward-or what he's been running from.From the author of Made in America and The Bastard of Taylor's End comes a tense, psychological vignette about guilt, control, and the cages we build to avoid what matters most. Jack Chase is an American novelist and the founder of Abbycat Group, a boutique publishing house.
