Sterling Watson
Sterling Watson's novel, Fighting in the Shade (Akashic, $15.95) is set in the brutal summer of 1964 in Gulf Coast Florida. Billy fights for a starting spot on the team, the Spartans. He makes the team, but in a horrific hazing scene, he badly injures his team rival. Billy is presented with a Faustian bargain, and the boy must accept the consequences of his decision. “A brilliant, fearless look at the savage rites of passage that exist in the fraternity of American sports," says Dennis Lehane. Watson is the author of five previous novels.
