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).

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik

'A superior example of the gangster genre.' Sunday Telegraph

'Many would now describe Winslow as one of the masters of American crime writing, and this remarkable novel ... is both breathtakingly panoramic and infinitesimally focused.' Financial Times

'Winslow's previous "Cartel" trilogy is an astonishing achievement that will be hard to beat, but on the strength of this immersive and humane tale of fate, free will, loyalty and betrayal, his new series will rank alongside it.' Guardian

'This superb novel, by the writer of the Cartel trilogy of narco-thrillers, is a bloody tale of greed, lust and violent retribution, and based on various Greek myths, including Helen Of Troy.' Sun

'Winslow's next juggernaut of a modern-day epic' LA Times

'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."
Karin Slaughter

'Winslow is our Dickens of modern crime. I can't think of anyone better at what he does.' Linwood Barclay

'Superb. This is storytelling with a keen edge. City on Fire is exhilarating to read.' Stephen King

'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

"City on Fire is the best gangster novel since The Godfather."
Steve Cavanagh

'Epic, ambitious, majestic, City on Fire is The Godfather for our generation.' Adrian McKinty

Autor

Don Winslow is the author of twenty-five acclaimed, award-winning international bestsellers, including seven New York Times bestsellers (Savages, The Kings of Cool, The Cartel, The Force, The Border, City on Fire and City of Dreams). Savages was made into a feature film by three-time Oscar-winning writer-director Oliver Stone from a screenplay by Shane Salerno, Winslow and Stone. Winslow's epic Cartel trilogy has been adapted for TV and will appear as a weekly series on FX. Additional Winslow books are currently in development at Paramount (The Winter of Frankie Machine), Netflix (Boone Daniels), Warner Brothers (Satori), Sony (City on Fire, City of Dreams, City in Ruins) and Working Title (?Crime 101?) and he has recently written a series of acclaimed and award winning short stories for Audible narrated by four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris. A former investigator, anti-terrorist trainer and trial consultant, Winslow has announced that City in Ruins will be his final novel.
