Overview

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.
