THE FAIR FIGHT is a pulsating historical novel set within the world of female pugilists and their patrons in late 18th-century Bristol. It's an unputdownable story which takes you from a filthy brothel to the finest houses in the town, from the world of street fighters to another of champions. It is about fighting your way to the top - and not only with your fists. Alive with the smells and sounds of the street, THE FAIR FIGHT is a major debut with incredibly wide appeal.
