City on Fire: A Crime Family Saga is a novel by Don Winslow, the first book in a trilogy that reimagines classic crime and mafia stories. Set in 1980s Providence, Rhode Island, the book follows a conflict between two criminal families—one Irish, one Italian—whose fragile peace is shattered, leading to betrayal, violence, and power struggles. Inspired by Greek and Roman epics, Winslow blends fast-paced action with rich character development, making it a gripping modern crime saga.
