Do you like crime and suspense novels? Are you fascinated by stories of mafias, betrayals, revenge and passion? If so, you might be interested in reading City on Fire, the new novel from acclaimed author Don Winslow.

City on Fire is a modern version of the Iliad, the Greek epic that narrates the Trojan War triggered by the kidnapping of Helen. But instead of princes and warriors, the protagonists are Irish and Italian gangsters vying for control of Providence, Rhode Island, in the 1980s and 1990s.

Danny Ryan is a dock worker, faithful husband, loyal friend, and occasional "muscle" for the Irish crime syndicate that dominates much of the city. He longs for something more and dreams of starting over somewhere else. But when a modern-day Helen of Troy sparks a war between rival underworld factions, Danny finds himself drawn into a conflict he can't escape. Now it's up to him to defend his family, friends who are more than brothers, and the only home he's ever known.

Exploring classic themes of loyalty, betrayal, honor, and corruption on both sides of the law, City on Fire is a contemporary Iliad by Don Winslow, "America's greatest living crime writer" (Jon Land, Providence journal).

City on Fire is a fast-paced novel, full of action, violence, humor and emotion. Winslow creates characters as vivid as they are vile, caught in a cycle of crime and revenge. The narrative style is agile and direct, with a colloquial and scathing language that reflects the reality of the streets. The plot is carefully structured and has unexpected twists that keep the reader on edge until the end.
