The Buzzsaw –
by Darren White

Every family has a story. Some of them draw blood.

In 1934, a prizefighter known as The Buzzsaw was murdered in a Niagara Falls barroom, his death reduced to a newspaper headline and a few whispered stories that no one wanted to finish telling. 

Decades later, his grandson—a career lawman—decides to stop looking away.

What begins as a tattoo becomes an investigation. Court transcripts, police files, newspaper clippings, and long-buried memories slowly reconstruct the life of Harry “The Buzzsaw” White: champion boxer, bootlegger, enforcer, and family man caught between loyalty and violence in an era when survival often required both.

The Buzzsaw offers an unflinching examination of inheritance—how rage, pride, love, and fear pass from one generation to the next, shaping lives long after the blood has dried. Drifting through boxing rings, speakeasies, police corruption, and mob justice, White confronts the ultimate truth: loving someone doesn’t require excusing their every action.
