Street Warrior - Paperback

by David Tank Abbott (Author)

While working at a liquor store, infamous Happening Beach bar brawler and street warrior Walter Foxx steps in to stop a man from beating his girlfriend. Walter wins the fight but the man's father, who is a police detective, lies and gets him convicted of assault in a trial that has been rigged by an assistant district attorney with political ambitions. The judge on the case makes putting Walter behind bars a personal crusade due to his lengthy arrest record for fighting, even though he has never been convicted. With no idea of what he will do with his life, Walter, whose only passion in life is fighting, and who lives by his own personal warrior's code of conduct, is sent to jail for 180 days for assault. Walter is determined to keep his temper in check as he knows that his 180 days could easily turn into 10 years if he gets into a fight, since the D.A. would like nothing better than to turn his misdemeanor conviction into a felony. But when you're a warrior and are challenged to a fight anything can happen. As he turns himself into jail and is processed into the legal system Walter Foxx has no idea if he will ever see freedom again - and even if he does he wonders if there is any place in the modern world for a man whose mentality is more in line with the knights, Vikings, and samurai of old. Conflicted internally and beset by outside forces he has no control over, Walter finds himself on a razor's edge, walking a frayed tightrope above a bottomless pit with no end in sight and no safety net below. Walter's only hope lies in somehow getting into the new No-Holds-Barred fighting show on pay-per-view - but time is running out
