He came for the American dream. What he got was a one-way ticket to hell.
Thomas Fox left Mayo with hope in his heart and just enough cash to bring his family to New York. But working nights in a Bronx nightclub owned by Irish mobster Eddie McGoldrick isn't exactly the dream. When Fox refuses a job from McGoldrick's violent nephew - a hit on rival gangsters in Boston - he thinks he's dodged the worst.
He's wrong.
Under mounting pressure from debt, a dead-end job, and a girlfriend who wants more than promises, Fox makes a choice that triggers a brutal chain of events. One job. One mistake. No way out.
Transatlantic: The Ballad of Thomas Fox is a gritty Irish-American crime thriller set in the mean streets of 1980s New York - packed with mob violence, dark humour, and hard choices.
Fans of Dennis Lehane, Adrian McKinty, and The Departed will feel right at home.
James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.
Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.
Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
