A Times Best Book for 2022

Providence, RI, 1986.

Twenty-nine-year-old Danny Ryan is a hard-working longshoreman, loving husband, loyal friend, and occasional muscle for the Irish crime syndicate that oversees much of the city. He yearns for something more and dreams of starting over fresh, someplace far away.

But when a modern-day Helen of Troy triggers a war between rival mob factions, Danny is embroiled in a conflict he can't escape. Now it is up to him to step into the breach to protect his family, the friends who are closer to him than brothers, and the only home he's ever known.

Exploring classic themes of loyalty, betrayal, honour, and corruption on both sides of the law, City on Fire is a contemporary Iliad from Don Winslow, one of America's greatest storytellers (Stephen King).

City on Fire Bewertungen

'City on Fire is as incendiary as its title suggests; a tale of family and friendship, carnage and corruption, that draws on the classics but has roots in the here and now. It ranks alongside his best, and Winslow's best is as good as it gets.'
Mick Herron, Top 10 bestselling author of the Slough House novels

City on Fire is the best gangster novel since The Godfather.
Steve Cavanagh, #1 bestselling author of the Eddie Flynn series

'Pure genius! Nobody can bring such grit and such heart to crime fiction as Don Winslow-and with such a unique and compelling stylistic voice.' Jeffery Deaver

Gritty, moody, and totally immersive, CITY ON FIRE is the first installment in an epic new series that is sure to grip readers from the start. This is Winslow at his very best.
Sunday Times and International Bestselling Author, Karin Slaughter

'Rich in action and riveting characters, hugely entertaining, City on Fire brings the reader into a fable about the escalating stakes of underworld warfare, with an emotional depth that lingers long after the book is finished' Kyle Perry, author of The Bluffs
