A bareknuckle fighter must win a brutal tournament to feed his family in "a novel that guts the underbelly of southern Indiana"-now a major motion picture (Kirkus Reviews).The Donnybrook is a three-day bare-knuckle tournament held on a thousand-acre plot out in the sticks of southern Indiana. Twenty fighters. One wire-fence ring. Fight until only one man is left standing while a rowdy festival of onlookers-drunk and high on whatever’s on offer-bet on the fighters.Jarhead is a desperate man who’d do just about anything to feed his children. He’s also the toughest fighter in southeastern Kentucky, and he’s convinced that his ticket to a better life is one last fight with a cash prize so big it’ll solve all his problems. But he’ll have to face Chainsaw Angus-an undefeated fighter who recently got into cooking meth with his sister, Liz.As we travel through the backwoods to get to the Donnybrook, we meet a cast of nasty, ruined characters driven to all sorts of evil, all in the name of getting their fix-drugs, violence, sex, money, honor. Donnybrook is exactly the fearless, explosive, amphetamine-fueled debut novel you’d expect from the author of the feted and fearless story collection Crimes in Southern Indiana.
