The Slip by Lucas Schaefer
In 1998 Austin, sixteen-year-old Nathaniel finds confidence at a neighborhood boxing gym before he vanishes. Years later his uncle Bob reopens the case, bringing him into contact with Charles (“X”), a teenager wrestling with identity, and a cast of fighters, a rookie cop, and a young immigrant with a false identity. The novel tracks their intersecting lives—about identity, belonging, and masculinity—building toward a tense confrontation in the ring.
