Fightcard: Three Punch Combo

By Paul Bishop

Veteran LAPD detective and bestselling author Paul Bishop puts up his dukes to deliver a trio of knockout stories in Three Punch Combo.

In Fightcard: Felony Fists, it's 1954 Los Angeles, a city run by gangsters, gamblers, and crooked promoters. Middleweight cop Patrick "Felony" Flynn must fight his way into Chief Parker's elite Hat Squad by taking down a murderous heavyweight tied to Mickey Cohen's criminal empire. But in a rigged fight game where the mob owns judges, corners, and crowds, Flynn may be stepping into a ring he can't survive.

Flynn returns in Fightcard: Swamp Walloper, trading LA's neon streets for the dark, dangerous bayous of New Orleans. When a murdered boxer leaves Flynn's name carved into the case, he and partner Tombstone Jones face voodoo whispers, prison walls, and a killer lurking in the shadows...a predator who fights dirty and never loses.

The collection closes with The Chicago Punch, a classic noir short story following journalist Nick DeLuca as he uncovers a deadly conspiracy behind a rising fighter's career, and discovers that heart alone may not be enough to survive the fight game's darkest corners.

Gritty, fast-paced, and steeped in vintage fight lore, Three Punch Combo delivers hard hits, sharp dialogue, and relentless action. Three stories, three cities, and one brutal world where only the toughest make it to the final bell.
