The Girl, The Crow, The Writer And The Fighter Summary

The Girl, The Crow, The Writer And The Fighter by George Paterson

It's 1965 and provocative author Henry Miller is taken incognito to an infamous title fight. In the turbulent aftermath of the bout, Miller is forced to battle his way through the ensuing melee in order to make a vital connection with the keeper of a tightly guarded secret. 'Is it safe?' Twenty years later, a young Maine waitress receives an unusual bequest. From the estate of an elderly patron, May Morgenstern takes ownership of a bound collection of letters, hitherto unseen correspondence between her late friend and the aforementioned writer in which he not only recounts the story of how he came to be accused of the slaying of the man who fathered her but how his fate came to be linked with that of future heavyweight champion, Sonny Liston. George Paterson's epistolary tale of murder and chicanery is a study of chaos in instalments. 'The Girl, The Crow, The Writer And The Fighter' is an incendiary, exciting, 'what if?' page turner which spans continents and lifetimes.

The Girl, The Crow, The Writer And The Fighter Reviews

Possibly the finest American novel not to come out of America. Alistair Braidwood, Scottish Cultural Commentator & Podcaster; Rarely has a debut novelist, so firmly rooted in his Scottish identity, written a work which is so at ease with the details of raw emotions and breathtaking action in an international setting. Stuart Cosgrove, Writer, Journalist, Broadcaster and Media Commentator; A scintillating, riveting debut novel from a brilliant new writer. David F Ross, Writer - There's Only One Danny Garvey; A beautiful, brooding epic from the brilliant bastard offspring of Hammett and Pynchon. Tom Gillespie, Writer - The Strange Book of Jacob Boyce
