The Unholy Patrons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781504942447)

From the slums of Cape Town, a hero is born. At the age of twenty-two, Warren Baunn was already a national boxing champion. After three successive years, he remained unbeaten in the ring. It was only but fitting that by the time Warren called it quits, his name must have been written in gold letters among the legends of the sport. But there was a dramatic twist in his career when Warren punched the living daylights out of an opponent in the ring, who unfortunately died two days later in the hospital. Traumatized and depressed from the ill-fated incident, Warren gave up the profession at the prime of his career and took to alcohol, prostitutes, and drugs as solace for his dejection. Meanwhile, former champion Blake Kane, made his plans to retire from the sport public. Meaning, the highly anticipated Battle of Egos between Warren Baunn and Blake Kane would never happen. It is all but bad business to the Patrons of the sport, as Warren repeatedly turned down colossal offers to reverse his decision and take on Blake on what was expected to be the biggest boxing fight in the history of South Africa. Ultimately, someone was determined to make the fight happen and was willing to go to any length. Warren's mum went out for a stroll one evening and never returned, only for Warren to get a text from an anonymous number that read, "Fight Blake Kane in another 27 days or you will never see your mum again. Go to the cops or tell anybody and you will find her corpse on your doorsteps the following morning." In this thriller, Mac Kelly Obison ingeniously delivers mind-throbbing suspense, horrendous treachery, atrocious act of blackmail, and revenge all packed in an explosive saga.
