Brad Smith has a couple that fit into this thread: ONE-EYED
JACKS is the tale of an ex-boxer named Tommy Cochrane getting
into all sorts of trouble in 1950s Ontario. His boxing skills
come in handy a time or two. ALL HAT has a jock main
character, ex-baseball player Ray Dokes, but the sports
action happens at the track, where the plot involves
gambling, horse-thieving, and rural Ontario. Noir? Maybe.
Crime fiction, for sure. Good reading? You bet!
