Atlantic City War
In the Philly mob, peace is just a pause between wars.
Sal Bonano is the undisputed kingpin of Philadelphia. Three years after taking the throne, his empire—union kickbacks, pain clinics, and legitimate businesses—runs like a well-oiled machine. The city is locked down. The money is flowing. And Sal believes no one is reckless enough to challenge him.
He’s wrong.
❄️ From Brighton Beach, a colder, more ruthless enemy is moving south.
Viktor Romanoff and his Russian crew aren’t negotiating for territory—they’re taking it. Atlantic City becomes the first battleground as bookies are poached and Sal’s authority is tested. When Sal dismisses the threat, the Russians answer with blood.
💣 A firebombed strip club.
🎯 A sniper at a suburban dance recital.
🩸 A stray bullet that kills a teenage boy.
As civilians die, the mob war spills from the Atlantic City boardwalk to the streets of South Philly.
Meanwhile, 👮♀️ FBI agent Angela Russo is building a RICO case that could bury both crime families for good. With men dying and money bleeding out, underboss Tony DeMarco attempts the unthinkable—a truce.
But in this world, peace is deadlier than war.
The deal forces Sal into a fragile alliance with his worst enemy… and pushes him to unleash a new kind of weapon:
👤 a ghost
🔫 a killer with no name
🕶️ a man who doesn’t exist
Atlantic City War is a gritty, dialogue-driven crime thriller packed with mob politics, brutal violence, and high-stakes betrayals.
Perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and The Sopranos.
