The Crimson Flash

A former lightweight boxing champion takes a job guarding wealthy twins at a traveling circus, expecting easy money. Instead, he finds himself bound, left unconscious in a circus wagon, and hunting for a missing engagement ring worth a fortune. The trail leads him through a world of boxing bears, shadowed midway performers, and dangerous characters who don't want him to find the gem. Johnny Thompson isn't just strong, he's clever, using his fists when necessary and his wits when brute force won't do. The circus becomes a maze of suspects and false leads, every eccentric performer a potential thief or ally. What starts as a simple recovery mission becomes a test of survival in a world where the bright lights hide darker secrets. This is pure adventure fiction: fast-paced and driven by a protagonist who's as quick with his mind as with his fists. Snell writes with the confidence of someone who understands what readers want from pulp adventure, movement, danger, and a hero who never stays down for long.
