A body in the basement is about to ruin Ricky's summer.
"A haunting tale of death, love, and the American Dream on a US town's mean streets" - Keith Nixon, author of the bestselling Konstantin series.
"A brilliant read that explores society and all its cracks. Jason Beech expertly balances the nostalgia of childhood adventures with the brutality of life in a very grown-up and dark town. City of Forts deserves to sit equal with the greats as a piece of entertainment and a study of modern life's struggle" - Aidan Thorn, author of When the Music's Over from Number 13 Press.
When Liz Panowich falls through the floorboards of an abandoned house and comes face to face with a body slumped, bloody, against the basement wall, Ricky Nardilo knows this long, hot summer is about to make hell of his life. Local gangsters, the Ghost Boys, want to know about the stiff, forcing Ricky and his teenage pals to dig graves, escape danger by the skin of their teeth, and seek the protection of the man from the City. It all works, until the bullets turn towards them.
City of Forts is a coming-of-age crime thriller set in the world of the have-nots, desperate in the face of the haves, where friendships can crumble at the squeeze of a trigger.
