Indiana James: Locos de Atacar

Indiana James in "Locos de Atacar" This Spanish-language pulp narrative follows Indiana James, a freelance journalist and photographer struggling to sell stories in New York. Summoned to Las Vegas by his old boxing friend Joe "Tontonero" Crafton for a farewell fight, James attends a boxing event at the Egyptian's Pleasure Palace casino. The story opens with detailed description of Las Vegas's gambling culture, casinos, and entertainment venues before focusing on the boxing matches. The narrative centers on preliminary fights preceding a world heavyweight championship bout. The first match features "Missile" Howard Abramson, a white boxer of exceptional talent, against Chris Dunlop, a Black fighter. Abramson fights with a peculiar, emotionless intensity—cold staring eyes, mechanical movements, apparent imperviousness to Dunlop's punches. James observes something psychologically abnormal in Abramson's demeanor and behavior, suggesting the boxer is in an unusual mental state. The OCR becomes fragmentary toward the conclusion, but the setup implies James will investigate the source of Abramson's disturbing condition.
