Reviews

[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

3 Punch Combo presents three great boxing stories by Paul Bishop. Two are full-length novelettes featuring Patrick Felony Flynn, a police detective by day and boxer by night, and the third piece is a bit shorter and features a boxing story from the point of view of a reporter. All are excellent. To get all three at once is like Christmas in July.

Every time I read anything by Paul Bishop I'm amazed at the sheer talent that flows from his imagination. This 3 Punch Combo was a fascinating journey into the inner mind and world of boxing, detective work, and organized crime. Just when I started to get settled in and cozy with where I thought the plot was going, Paul took a sharp turn and unexpectedly shook things up, keeping my mind alert wondering how the heck everything would turn out in the end! Add to this his signature humor and flair for vivid descriptions and you've got in your hands three action-packed stories you won't want to put down.
