The Harbor Kings, Baltimore, 1967.

A city of steel, smoke, and men who rule the streets with fear.

When Force Recon Marine Frankie James returns home from Vietnam, he finds Baltimore worse than he left it—his father, Big Frank, is drowning in debt to Vito “The Wolf” Moretti, the ruthless mob boss who controls the docks with an iron fist. Frankie has survived war, but what waits for him at home is darker, dirtier, and far more personal.

Frankie isn’t interested in bending the knee.

He’s interested in changing the balance of power.

He gathers a tight crew of war-hardened brothers—Ron Kitterman, the calm strategist; Randy Reynolds, the feral fighter; Russ Mallory, the quiet mechanic-sniper; Donovan O’Leary, the connector; and Portside Malone, the eyes of the docks. Together, they blend military precision with street-level brutality, challenging the Wolf’s empire piece by bloody piece.

But Baltimore’s underworld is more crowded than Frankie realizes.

The Scaglione family watches from the shadows.

Detective Shane Stahlman hunts from the gray area of the law.

And Colonel Mike Hoag—a CIA operative with hidden motives—sees Frankie as a weapon waiting to be aimed.

As tension rises and bodies fall, Frankie must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect his father, his crew, and the woman he’s starting to care about. When the Wolf strikes back, the only path left is war.

And when the smoke clears, a new power will rise.

Because Baltimore isn’t big enough for all these kings… and Frankie James is ready to claim his crown.

THE HARBOR KINGS is a gritty, character-driven crime thriller packed with brotherhood, vengeance, military realism, and the birth of a new criminal dynasty. Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Peaky Blinders, The Wire, and Sicario.
