Reads like a Raymond Chandler for the twenty-first century . . . As a thriller writer, Steve Bunce wipes the floor with Stieg Larsson

A devastating evocation of the way the sport functions at its basest level

One of only a handful of recent additions to a genre once distinguished by men like Leonard "Fat City" Gardner and Budd "The Harder They Fall" Schulberg

What Bunce has done brilliantly in The Fixer is to borrow heavily from his decades in and around boxing as participant, commentator and salesman to tell a fictional tale that is disturbingly close to the real thing

The story crackles with so much authenticity that you can almost smell the stale sweat and leather as you turn the pages

A pacey, rollicking crime caper set in the wonderful, tempestuous snakepit of professional boxing . . .written as Bunce talks: chest out, shoulders rolling, nipping with telling jabs here and there

An intriguing tale, not least because Bunce cleverly mixes fictional characters with real personalities

A fast-paced boxing thriller that dips into the murky side of the sport

Steve Bunce delivers a knockout read

Buncey pulls no punches - a great read
