Dan Kavanagh's "Putting the Boot In" is set in the world of
British football
(that's "soccer" to some of you). It may perhaps not count as
noir, but it's certainly hardboiled enough to merit a mention
here anyway.

I'm currently enjoying Leonard Gardner's "Fat City" about the
seedy boxing world in Stockton, CA. And I recently read and
loved Gerald Kersh's "Night And the City" which had a good
amount of seedy wrestling. Does anyone recommend any other
sports noir books? Or if there even are any? There's nothing
more low-down and gritty than a locker room, in a world where
winning and losing is everything. Why aren't there more noir
sports stories? There have been quite a few noirish boxing
movies, but where are the books?
