The Cage Fighter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979648373)

"Everyne's got the flaws, but few have what it takes to look at them."

Johnny Lazio's life as an undefeated MMA fighter crashes into the vicious fist of Antino Morales, who breaks not only Johnny's nose, but also his confidence. As he flounders, his coach frets that Johnny might never be able to bounce back. His karate Sensei turns away in shame.

There's only one person who can reach Johhny in his low point - a young Thai prostitute named Cindy, who draws Johnny out of his almost monastic life and starts to lead him back inside himself.

As the re-match with Morales looms, Johnny tests his body and soul, but it's only in the cage that he fully realizes what he's found.
