City on Fire (2022) Signed First Edition Reference

City on Fire was published by William Morrow in 2022, launching the Danny Ryan Trilogy — a crime epic set among the Irish and Italian mob factions of Providence, Rhode Island, in the 1980s. Danny Ryan is a low-level dock worker caught between warring mob families when a love affair across factional lines triggers an all-out gang war.

The Book

The novel is explicitly modeled on the Iliad — Winslow has described it as a retelling of Homer’s epic through the lens of American organized crime. The Providence setting provides a fresh geography for Winslow’s characteristic exploration of loyalty, violence, and institutional corruption.
