One of America's greatest storytellers - Stephen King

The new thriller from the international bestselling author - the beginning of a brand new trilogy.

Providence, RI, 1986.

Twenty-nine-year-old Danny Ryan is a hard-working dockworker, loving husband, loyal friend, and occasional "muscle" for the Irish crime syndicate that controls much of the city. He longs for something more and dreams of starting anew, somewhere far away.

But when a modern-day Helen of Troy ignites a war between rival Mafia factions, Danny finds himself embroiled in a conflict from which he cannot escape. Now it is up to him to step up and protect his family, the friends who are closer to him than brothers, and the only home he has ever known.

"City on Fire" explores classic themes such as loyalty, betrayal, honor, and corruption on both sides of the law and is a contemporary Iliad by Don Winslow, one of America's greatest storytellers.
