"Just finished Don Stradley's book on Edwin Valero, "Berserk."
Outstanding. Predictably so because 1) Don is a super writer, and
2) the story is chilling and amazing.-Steve Farhood, Showtime
boxing analyst, and International Boxing Hall of Fame member
"There's no telling what went on during the next few hours, or
where his paranoia took him, but in that room something terrible
happened. At 5:30 a.m. Valero appeared in the lobby. As calmly as
one might order something from room service, he told the staff that
he had just killed his wife." Within the dark pages of Berserk: The
Shocking Life and Death of Edwin Valero, author Don Stradley
uncovers the gritty details of the undefeated (27-0, 27 KO),
troubled, boxer Edwin Valero. Edwin Valero's life was like a rocket
shot into a wall. With a perfect knockout record in twenty-seven
fights, the demonic Venezuelan boxer, known as "El Inca" and "El
Dinamita," seemed destined for a clash with all-time great Manny
Pacquiao. But the Fates had other ideas. Fueled by cocaine and
booze and paranoia, Valero blazed into a mania that derailed his
career in the ring and resulted in the brutal death of his young
wife Jennifer-and soon afterward, his own. In chilling detail, Don
Stradley captures one of the darkest and most sensational boxing
stories in recent memory, which, until now, has never been fully
told. Filled with firsthand accounts from the men who trained
Valero and the reporters who covered him, as well as insights from
psychologists and forensic experts, Berserk is a hell-ride of a
book. Berserk is the first in the Hamilcar Noir series, from
