More about the book
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco's nightlife, the narrative unfolds in the Alta-Inyo Club, where discussions shift from local corruption to the tragic death of O'Brien, a promising young boxer. Revered for his clean lifestyle and ideals, O'Brien stood out in a world rife with moral decay. His commitment to purity is symbolized by the prayer-book found in his pocket after his fatal match, contrasting sharply with the grim realities of the society around him. The story explores themes of innocence, loss, and the harshness of life in a corrupt world.
