Bias in the Blood

In the rain-slicked streets of Ashford, Veridia, desperate mechanic Leo Kovac enters a savage underground boxing circuit to pay for his lover's heart surgery. But every bruise tells a story, and every bloodstained canvas conceals a crime. When a lesbian couple's legal battle against the Department of Family Services exposes a child-trafficking pipeline into the ring, the same evidence speaks differently to a bigoted detective, a righteous lawyer, and the fists of a man with nothing to lose. In the tradition of Edogawa Ranpo, nothing is as it seems, and the truth is just another weapon.
