In the 1950s, a beat cop and amateur boxer helps LA's notorious Hat Squad detectives bring down a crime kingpin in Jack Tunney's initial entry in the Fight Card ebook series, Felony Fists.
The Fight Card series is harking back to the pulp novels, specifically the boxing novels, of yore and does an admirable job with a quick, muscular read. Jack Tunney is the house pseudonym for a bevy of writers, with Paul Bishop at the helm for this one.
Bishop hits the standard beats as our protagonist rises from an orphanage, where he was taught boxing (naturally), to being a warm-hearted cop in a bad neighborhood, on up to being the underdog in a big fight.
Felony Fists is enjoyable yet undemanding, but I will certainly grab the next one in the series.
I got this for my beloved Kindle and read it quickly.
