💎 Our verdict on City of War

Horror desk
Veteran Hollywood producer Neil Russell steps onto the thriller scene with City of War, introducing Rail Black, a wealthy and formidable figure driven by an unyielding sense of justice. While the publisher frames this debut around financial power and vigilante retribution, the atmosphere carries a lingering, psychological tension that examines the heavy toll of operating outside conventional boundaries. Rather than relying on traditional supernatural terrors, the book targets a grounded, paranoid fear rooted in human corruption and the moral compromises demanded by absolute power. It suits readers who appreciate methodical, character-driven thrillers centered on quiet menace and intense psychological pressure.
