The Devil's Stocking Lib/E

Description

A boxer finds himself the targeted victim of a vindictive group in the story of one man's battle against injustice in the dark underworld of urban America.

The Devil's Stocking is the story of Ruby Calhoun, a boxer accused of murder in a shadowy world of low-purse fighters, cops, con artists, and bar girls. Chronicling a battle for truth and human dignity which gives way to a larger story of life and death decisions, literary grandmaster Nelson Algren's last novel is a fitting capstone to a long and brilliant career.
