Fight City

Los Angeles, 1955, and all Jimmy Gallagher wants to do is meet his girl, Ruby, at the movies. She's the love of his life, you see, and he can't be late. He's missed one too many dates because he's been boxing for dough, something Ruby desperately wants him to give up.It seems simple enough to get from Bunker Hill to the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. But then the cops nab Jimmy for something he didn't do, and throw him in the clink. And that's the good part of his next 48 hours! It seems the City of Angels has decided to put up its dukes and give Irish Jimmy Gallagher the fight of his life. A novelette in the tradition of the great pulp boxing stories, Fight City is another entry in the saga of a big-hearted scrapper, his bulldog, Steve, and the waitress who loves them both. James Scott Bell is the author of numerous bestsellers and books on writing. A third generation Angeleno, he continues to live and write in his home town.
