Daniel is one of the most feared cage-fighters in Mixed Martial Arts until an injury ruins his career. Forced back to rural Ontario, his career derailed, Daniel slips into a criminal world. Written in spare, muscular prose, In the Cage penetrates the heart of what it means to endure life in the underclass, and to find small happiness there.
"The architecture of this first novel is faultlessly conceived; the construction of the storytelling is meticulously crafted ... The characters we love will break our hearts; the low-lifes we fear are no less indelibly rendered. There is an aura of foreboding-of tragic inevitability-to the collision course of their lives."
