A rip-roaring thriller set behind-the-scenes of the boxing world
Steve Bunce has worked as a journalist and broadcaster since 1985. He has been at five Olympic Games and reported on over fifty fights in Las Vegas. As well as being a regular columnist for Boxing Monthly he also contributes to The Independent. He has a monthly boxing show on BBC 5 Live and a weekly sports chat show on BBC London. He recently toured the UK with his one-man show, Bunce on Boxing.
"Reads like a Raymond Chandler for the twenty-first century. A hard-boiled, two-fisted, wise-cracking novel about the boxing world's black underbelly. As a thriller writer, Steve Bunce wipes the floor with Stieg Larsson" -- Tony Parsons Daily Mirror "A devastating evocation of the way the sport functions at its basest level" -- George Kimball, Author Of The Bestselling Four Kings "One of only a handful of recent additions to a genre once distinguished by men like Leonard "Fat City" Gardner and Budd "The Harder They Fall" Schulberg" The Independent "A pacey, rollicking crime caper set in the wonderful, tempestuous snakepit of professional boxing ...written as Bunce talks: chest out, shoulders rolling, nipping with telling jabs here and there" The Big Issue "What Bunce has done brilliantly in The Fixer is to borrow heavily from his decades in and around boxing as participant, commentator and salesman to tell a fictional tale that is disturbingly close to the real thing" The Observer
