Granite Grit by Lee Cooper
Family man Joe, 32, loses his job, and with a wife, two kids, and mounting debt, turns to all he knows: boxing. Conned into a brutal fight after meeting training pal Tim, he's on a dark path. Joe loves the rush of victory in unlicensed fighting. But, memories of his estranged father haunt him, a notorious street-fighter from Glasgow's Gorbals. Joe's family soon take second place, his addiction for notoriety overwhelming. And, his demons simmer: his father battering his mother; her committing suicide; Joe's vow to find and kill his father. He befriends gangster Mr Dean, who demands Joe becomes his fighter. Outcast by his wife, Joe befriends ex-con Micky, who turns Joe into a paranoid drug and alcohol addict, abusing his girl-friend. Gradually, he becomes like his dad. Monster Reaper has a fearsome reputation, the hardest bare-knuckle-fighter in Britain. Joe knows that the path to his father lies in defeating Reaper. The underworld community gathers to watch an unforgettable fight. Joe kills The Reaper, then his father reveals The Reaper was Joe's brother.
