Stone Cold

by Peter Taylor

Former gypsy prize-fighter, Henry Torrance, is about to be released from prison where he's been serving time for killing fellow bare-knuckle fighter Bull Jackson. Now, he's resolved to get his life on track and settle down with his girlfriend Mary. However, the criminal Jackson family is insistent that Henry should fight their latest protege and Henry's brother and father accept the challenge on his behalf. As the day of the big fight draws closer, Henry's determination not to return to his old ways is countered by the mounting pressure on him. Can he ever escape his dark past?
