A MAFIA WAR CAN BE BRUTAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES A MAGICAL MANIAC
Josiah arrives in New York City through a portal from another realm. Capable of frightening feats and driven by a lust for power, he takes on the mafia. He'll just need the help of a few local outcasts.
Lucius is an impulsive f-up who shuns his mafia family's norms. Behind a long line of brothers for leadership, he fashioned his own comfortable nook. Thrust into war with another family, he becomes enveloped by the need for revenge.
Antonia is Lucius' sister. She exists on the family's outskirts, protective of her brothers and occasionally called upon for unspeakable assistance. Forced to contend with the potential downfall of everyone she loves, she may be the key to the family's salvation...and her own.
In Bad Citizen, Ron Lebow fuses fantasy, sci fi and mob drama into a relentlessly entertaining ride. Josiah storms through a portal with terrifying powers and a hunger for control, setting his sights on New York's underworld. He'll need allies-and finds them in our society's outcasts. Lucius, an impulsive mafia screw-up, is forced to contend with responsibilities he never wanted. Antonia, his fiercely protective sister, stands at the center of it all. What follows is a comedic war where every twist redefines loyalty, violence is interspersed with unexpected laughs, and no one walks away unchanged.
Set in modern-day NYC, the story balances brutal violence with razor-sharp comedy, delivering one unpredictable twist after another. Sacrifices loom around every corner, and consequences never arrive as expected. Lebow's novel is a portal fantasy turned upside down-fun, funny, and deadly serious in all the right places.
- Ride shotgun with Josiah as he weaponizes magical abilities to rip apart the mob.
- Get lost in a web of twists that make every chapter a revelation.
- Witness Lucius's chaotic spiral from black sheep to vengeful force.
- Uncover Antonia's pivotal role in a war no one else can win.
This isn't a tidy hero's tale-morally grey characters, constant surprises, and sacrifices with unthinkable consequences drive the chaos.
- Mafia mayhem with a magical twist
- Dark comedy that lands hard
- Sacrifices that flip the script
