Meet Joseph Ruebins. He is one second away from a very satisfying climax to his boxing career, and winding up for his ultimate punch, when he freezes, and suffers a stroke, and ends up in hospital. Overnight someone kills the elderly man in the next bed. Meanwhile, a policeman hunts down the man who killed his son. Where are the connecting links - and how could the fact that Joseph was put in the wrong ward due to a mishap with the forms imperil the rest of his close-knit family?

The almost matter-of-fact attitude to threat, violence and bad language made me think of [[:Category:Shaun Hutson|Shaun Hutson]]. You might also enjoy [[Punching Judy by David James]] as a thriller with more boxing.
