Ed
Kennedy is a nobody. A person that's unremarkable. He's young, drives
a cab, and is terrible at cards. AND then one day he stops a bank
robber, and everything changes. For one thing, he starts receiving
cards in the mail. And when he follows up on them he finds people he's
destined to help. Brilliant characters with solid writing.

UNDERDOGS (Wolfe Brothers #1-3)
3.87 Stars from 392 GoodReaders
UNDERDOGS
is 3-books in 1 and tells the saga of the Wolfe boys. The different
books are broken out below. I should note that annoyingly, there is no
reading information for book #1, The Underdog. AND that I could not
locate an edition that wasn't in German. Das ist aber schade.

The
Wolfe family isn't rich even in good times. But when dad loses his job
things get much worse. Though the brothers are extremely loyal to one
another, Steve, the older brother, moves out. And Ruben and Cameron
take jobs as fighters in illegal bouts. What's interesting is the boys
loyalty, and how they react differently to their success in the ring.
