Industry Reviews
"This well-written and entertaining book sheds light on how difficult [Bonavena] could be inside and outside the ring...A fast, fun read, highly recommended."--Robert Mladinich, author of From the Mouth of the Monster: The Joel Rifkin Story
"Patrick Connor does an excellent job of
unraveling the wild life and death of [Bonavena]...It's a testament to Connor's
abilities as a writer...enough detail to satisfy the hardcore boxing fan as well
as a casual fan who picks up the book for the true crime aspect of
it."--Thomas Gerbasi, Boxing

investigative reporter who explains the story in a compelling, concise
style...Picking up this book is an easy decision."--Tim Parsons, Tahoe
Onstage
"Patrick Connor has let loose a high-beamed torch into a number of dark and dirty corners with Shot at a Brothel...Boxing, true crime and brilliantly written."--Paul Zanon, author of Sinner and Saint and Jimmy Tibbs: Sparring With Life
"Hookers. Murder. Boxing. Author Patrick Connor lays out the promise of all three right there in the title of his first book, 'Shot at a Brothel'...delivering on the promise...Readers who want to see the Ali era from a less explored angle, with a story that stands on its own, are well served with this read."--Cliff Rold, Managing Editor, Boxingscene
