Paperbackย book by Don Stradleyย (Author)
Overview
Carlos Monzon was one of Argentinaโs most celebrated figures. A renowned boxing champion and movie actor who enjoyed affairs with beautiful women, he also harbored a secret life of drug use, alcohol, and domestic violence. When his estranged wife was found deadโstrangled and tossed from a balconyโMonzon confessed that theyโd fought the night before, but he couldnโt remember what had happened. The resulting murder trial cast a long shadow over Monzonโs legacy and launched a decades-long battle between his critics and defenders.
In A Fistful of Murder, Don Stradley explores Monzonโs turbulent life, from his beginnings in poverty to his dramatic rise to stardom, all the way to the case that shook a countryโand still haunts Argentina today.
A Fistful of Murder: The Fights and Crimes of Carlos Mozon is the sixth in the Hamilcar Noir series. Hamilcar Noir is โHard-Hitting True Crimeโ that blends boxing and true crime, featuring riveting stories captured in high-quality prose, with cover art inspired by classic pulp novels.
