Until a beautiful woman comes between the Irish and the Italians, launching a brutal gang war that will see them kill each other, destroy an alliance, and set a city on fire. Danny Ryan, a reluctant soldier in the Irish mob, yearns for a more “legit” life and a place in the sun. But as the bloody conflict stacks body on body and brother turns against brother, Danny has to rise above himself. To save the friends he loves like family and the family he has sworn to protect, he becomes a leader, a ruthless strategist, and a master of a treacherous game of organized crime in which the winners live and the losers die.

The winner will forge a dynasty in this sprawling family saga. Exploring the classic themes of loyalty, betrayal, and honor, City on Fire is a contemporary masterpiece of 1980s crime fiction in the tradition of The Godfather, Casino, and Goodfellas—a thrilling saga from Don Winslow, “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Jon Land, Providence Journal).
