Publisher's Synopsis
In this brilliant novel set against the dark and desolate backdrop of the Mississippi Delta, Jack Boucher, a washed-up bare-knuckle fighter, battles against decades of booze and drug abuse as he returns home to try and save all he has lost. Damaged by regret, crippled by twenty-five years of fists and elbows, heartbroken at his own betrayals, Jack the Jaw is forced to step into the fighting pit one last time, the stakes nothing less than life or death.
