The Fallow Season of Hugo Hunter

Craig Lancaster

A novel

Hugo Hunter, a would-be champion who never quite made it, is on his last legs. Thirty-seven years old, soft around the middle, and broke, he s plummeted from his glory days of title fights to small-time bouts against brawlers and punks. Watching ringside for nearly twenty years has been Mark Westerly, a sportswriter who has struggled to keep a professional distance from the man whose life and career have become enmeshed with his own tumultuous trajectory. Hugo and Mark share a history that runs deep and has at times gotten ugly. As Hugo lands on the ropes again, Mark steps in to try to save him and unburdens himself of long-held secrets regarding Hugo s past. But can these two men, who ve lived so long under the weight of their own tragedies, finally help each other find redemption?" (from publisher marketing)
