A boxer finds himself the targeted victim of a bad vindictive group in the storyplot of one man’s battle against injustice at night underworld of metropolitan America.

The Devil’s Stocking is the story of Ruby Calhoun, a boxer accused of murder inside a shadowy world of low-purse fighters, cops, people, and bar girls. Chronicling a fight for truth and human being dignity gives method to a more substantial story of existence and death decisions, literary grandmaster Nelson Algren’s last novel is a appropriate capstone to an extended and brilliant career.
