Volume 1 of the new furious trilogy by bestselling author Don Winslow. It is the year 1986: Danny and his best friend Pat control the streets of Providence, Rhode Island, with their gang. They make their money through robbery, smuggling, and extortion, living in peaceful coexistence with the Italian Mafia family Moretti. But when Pat's brother steals a woman from a Moretti, war breaks out in Dogtown. Murders shake the city. When the head of the Murphys is brutally killed, Danny rises to the top of the clan. However, he wants out of the business, out of Dogtown. One last deal is supposed to provide him with the start-up capital for a new life. To achieve this, he accepts an offer from the enemy. A magnificent thriller about loyalty, betrayal, honor, and corruption on both sides of the law. "The best thriller author of our time." DIE WELT am Sonntag "A master of suspense showcases his talent." The New York Times "I can’t wait to read this. Winslow at his best." Stephen King on The Year of the Hunter "With compelling humanity in the tragic details and an epic monumental quality reminiscent of Shakespeare - probably the best cop novel of all time." Lee Child on Corruption.
