CITY IN RUINS Danny Ryan Trilogy, Book 3

In the final book in the Danny Ryan Trilogy, a masterpiece of crime writing, Ari Fliakos delivers an astounding, empathetic performance. Rhode Island Irish mobster Danny Ryan's journey began decades ago when he evolved from a longshoreman to a small-time mobster and then to a multimillionaire Las Vegas hotelier. Winslow based Ryan's journey on the Greek tragedies THE ILIAD, THE AENEID, and THE ODYSSEY. Ryan experiences true love, devastating heartbreak, and unthinkable violence as he faces foes and scheming entrepreneurs, aided and abetted by Fliakos's deft handling of accents, tempo, and emphasis. This epic tale of vengeance and violence is considered to be this generation's GODFATHER. The best way to experience it is through Fliakos's flawless delivery. R.O.
