Publisher's Summary
Step into the gritty world of late 19th-century Yorkshire and meet Robert Montgomery, a young doctor's assistant and medical student. Montgomery needs £60 to complete his medical degree and fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor. But he has no way of raising the funds with his scanty wage. Fate takes a surprising turn when a violent encounter with a part-time boxer offers a glimmer of hope—the opportunity to enter a boxing match with a tantalizing £100 prize. But can Montgomery persuade his authoritative employer, Dr. Oldacre, to grant him a leave of absence? And if he does, can he defeat the reigning champion, Silas Craggs, the Master of Croxley, a titan from the neighbouring ironworks?
Will his courage and determination be enough to triumph and alter Montgomery's destiny forever?
Immerse yourself in the spellbinding world of 1897 Yorkshire, as masterfully depicted by the legendary Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This riveting narrative is brought to life by the captivating narration by Jill Dopp and dynamic character voices by John Sadoway and Adam McLaughlin, aided by a rich tapestry of music and sound effects, artfully woven together to transport you directly into 1897 Yorkshire. Prepare to enter the ring, and experience the story of courage and resilience in this unforgettable auditory journey.
