He could have just walked away When a fight with two escalates into a vicious beating by six, his life is changed forever. As he pieces together what happened, desire for justice becomes thirst for violence - and victim becomes perpetrator. Laced with biting humor, sharp references to pop culture, and manic dreams, Defenseless draws readers into a mind shaped by brutality. PETER WILSON is a recent university graduate. He has written two screenplays and has just completed his second novel. Defenseless is his first published work.
