The Killings of Stanley Ketchel by James Carlos Blake

The Killings of Stanley Ketchel by James Carlos Blake

The author of the brutal and brilliant Handsome Harry returns with the story of one of the greatest matches in boxing history. . . . "The Killings of Stanley Ketchel is a stunner. This is brilliant iconography, righteous Americana, and brutally powerful prose. A triumph!"--James Ellroy

Hailed as "one of the greatest chroniclers of the mythical American outlaw life" (Entertainment Weekly), James Carlos Blake brings to life the blazing story of Stanley Ketchel, the ragtime-era middleweight boxing champion and daring rakehell whose brief and meteoric life blazed with violence and tragedy in and out of the ring. Fierce and tender, sexy and funny, vast in setting and rich in historical detail, The Killings of Stanley Ketchel is this monumental talent at his robust and lyrical best.
