The Fixer by Frank C. Senia

Detailing a hard life of street smarts and survival, The Fixer by Frank C. Senia is the gritty portrait of Billy Summers, from his earliest battles as a childhood bruiser to his career in California as protective muscle, expected to do whatever was necessary to get the job done. Powerful in its depth and intimacy as an internal narrative, Senia’s novel is raw and revealing, delving into family loyalty, the psychological scars of violence, and our perennial search for belonging. A final proofreading sweep could catch the lingering typos, but the matter-of-fact style of narration generally flows well and keeps the pace high, resulting in a brutally forthright story of resilience and redemption.
