Synopsis

Are you ready for the fight of your life?

Heavyweight mixed martial artist Aaron "Woodshed" Wallace has all the potential in the world, but his criminal past has a permanent chokehold on his career. When the president of MMA's largest organization offers him a short-notice fight against a highly favored poster boy, Woody seizes his one shot at salvation.

Woodshed is a warrior--he'll fight anyone, anytime--but he didn't sign up for kidnapping, psychopath loan sharks, or murder gangs who get off on fight pit deathmatches. By the time Woody realizes he and his loved ones are just pawns in a high-stakes game between maniacs, he's in way too deep.

Suckerpunch is the first book in the superb Woodshed Wallace series, which also includes Hook and Shoot and Anaconda Choke. If you love raucous thrillers full of non-stop action, hilarious characters, and terrifying enemies, get in the cage and grab your copies now!

Review:

"Brown . . . launches a new thriller series with this impressive first set in the violent world of professional mixed martial arts. . . . The gore inherent in no-holds-barred fighting may be excessive for some, but seasoned noir fans will find plenty to savor. The engaging Wallace is more than capable of carrying a series." Publishers Weekly (August 2011)

"Brown has extensive training in various martial arts disciplines and takes readers deep inside the world of MMA. . . . He also gives readers a smartly constructed, well-told crime novel."  David Pitt, Booklist (August 2011)

"This superb thriller stands a bloody head above other titles in this genre. Fans of MMA and readers who enjoy sports fiction will want a ringside seat for this one." Library Journal (August 2011)

"Between the sanctioned fights, the training for the boys, and the mob, readers will enjoy Wallace taking opponents to the woodshed." Midwest Book Review (August 1, 2011)

"Suckerpunch is a nonstop thrill ride that never skips a beat and leaves the readers wanting to see more of Wallace." —www.MMArecap.com
