City On Fire
Providence, RI, 1986. Twenty-nine-year-old Danny Ryan is a hard-working longshoreman, loving husband, loyal friend, and occasional "muscle" for the Irish crime syndicate that oversees much of the city. He yearns for something more and dreams of starting over fresh, someplace far away. But when a modern-day Helen of Troy triggers a war between rival mob factions, Danny is embroiled in a conflict he can't escape. Now it is up to him to step into the breach to protect his family, the friends who are closer to him than brothers, and the only home he's ever known.

Styrkan
Kriminalinspektör Denny Malone leder en elitstyrka som bekämpar gäng, droger och vapen i New York. I arton år har han stått på frontlinjen och gjort allt som krävs för att överleva i en stad uppbyggd på ärelystnad och korruption. En stad där ingen är ren - inte ens Malone själv. Tillsammans med sin partner har han stulit kontanter och droger för miljontals dollar. När han fastnar i en fälla och pressas av den federala polisen tvingas Malone välja vem han ska svika: sina yrkesbröder, poliskåren, sin familj eller kvinnan han älskar - samtidigt som staden kokar av en etnisk konflikt som hotar att förgöra dem alla.

The Border
The war has come home. For more than forty years, Art Keller has been on the front lines of America's longest conflict: the war on drugs. His obsession with defeating the godfather of the Sinaloa Cartel - Adan Barrera - has cost him the people he loves, even taken a piece of his soul. Now Keller is elevated to the highest ranks of the DEA, only to find that in destroying one monster he has created thirty more that are wreaking chaos in his beloved Mexico. And not just there. Fighting to end the heroin epidemic scourging America, Keller finds himself surrounded by an incoming administration that's in bed with the very drug traffickers that Keller is trying to bring down. From the slums of Guatemala to the marbled corridors of Washington, D.C., Winslow follows a new generation of narcos, cops, addicts, politicians, and mere children fleeing the violence for the chance of a life in a new country. A shattering tale of vengeance, corruption and justice, The Border is an unflinching portrait of modern America, a story of - and for - our time.
