In such a stunning historical fiction debut occur the world of wrestling in the early 1920s, a couple are place adrift in a place where everyone has something to cover and not even the fights can be studied at face value. Late summer season, 1921. Disgraced previous lightweight champion Pepper Vehicle Dean has put in the past two years on the carnival circuit doing the dangerous "hangman's drop" and taking on all comers in nightly concern bouts. But when he and his cardsharp partner, Moira, are marooned in the wilds of Oregon, Pepper allows an offer to return to the world of wrestling as a trainer for Garfield Taft, a down-and-out BLACK heavyweight contender searching for a comeback and a go at the globe title. At working out camp in rural Montana, Pepper and Moira soon realize that nothing is what it appears: not Taft, not the upcoming match, not even the training center itself. With nowhere to look no options kept, Pepper and Moira must carefully navigate a world of gangsters, bootlegging, and fixed competitions in the hope they can carve out a viable future. A story of second chances and a sport at the cusp of major change, Champion of the World is an excellent historical debut from a superb new talent in fiction.
