After years roaming the country, Gabriel discovers an underground ring of knife duelists in a suburban Miami neighborhood. Led by a middle-class entrepreneur named Lopez, every evening a group of outcasts, psychopaths, and desperate young men and women gather in Lopez's living room for knife fights as Lopez films the duels in an attempt to sell the content online. The fights are structured so the participants are treated after the fights, and maximum safety is ensured. However, all of that is starting to change. A group within the group, led by the charismatic and fearless Fred, takes Gabriel in and soon discovers Lopez is changing the rules to ensure a deadlier outcome. But after the death of one of their own, the group realizes if they don't rise up against Lopez, a similar fate awaits them. For Gabriel, in order to overcome his past, he has to relive it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Cushman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1735364606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735364605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Burnt Tongue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Adam Cushman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890918715647,"sku":"9781735364605","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4dfc0672-11f1-4a3e-a589-f343d6ee66bf.jpg?v=1709740403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cut-adam-cushman-9781735364605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
