Atlantic City War

In the Philly mob, peace is just a pause between wars.
 

Sal Bonano is the undisputed kingpin of Philadelphia. Three years after seizing control, his criminal empire of union kickbacks, pain clinics, and legitimate businesses is a well-oiled machine. He has the city in his pocket, and his pragmatic underboss, Tony DeMarco, is there to handle the details.

But a new, colder enemy is moving south.

From Brighton Beach, the ruthless Viktor Romanoff and his ambitious Russian crew aren't asking for territory—they're taking it. They start in Atlantic City, poaching bookies and challenging Sal's authority. When Sal dismisses the threat, the Russians escalate, and a simple turf war explodes into a brutal, bloody conflict that leaves civilians dead.

A firebombed strip club. A sniper at a suburban dance recital. A stray bullet that kills a teenage boy. As the body count rises, the war bleeds from the Atlantic City boardwalk to the streets of South Philly.

While the two bosses fight for control, a relentless FBI agent, Angela Russo, is building a RICO case that could destroy them both. With his organization bleeding men and money, Tony DeMarco must broker a desperate truce.

But the peace is more dangerous than the war.

The new deal forces Sal into a fragile partnership with his worst enemy, planting the seeds of his own destruction and forcing him to find a new kind of soldier: a ghost who can kill without a name.

Perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and The Sopranos, Atlantic City War is the second novel in the explosive Philly Kingpin series. A gritty, dialogue-driven crime thriller about the high cost of a truce and the brutal reality of organized crime.
