When the NY mob flips the Donnie Brasco playbook planting an enforcer inside the Miami police. The line between cop and criminal dissolves in a storm of betrayal & bloodshed.

"What if Donnie Brasco had worked in reverse?"

When retired Miami cop bestselling author David Yuzuk flipped the script on the classic undercover story—placing a mob enforcer inside law enforcement—the result was explosive. As the characters and locations took on a life of their own, Cities of Sand and Stone was born: a relentless, high-stakes thriller where loyalty is a weapon, betrayal is inevitable, and the line between cop and criminal disappears in the Miami heat.

When things heat up in South Florida, New York mob boss Eddie “Mambo” Salerno sends his most trusted enforcer, Angelo Tedeschi, to keep order. With favors owed by corrupt Beachside Police Captain James Hagen, Angelo secures a spot on the force—hiding in plain sight while expanding the Mafia’s reach.

But a new player is on the rise. Ruthless Russian upstart Viktor Matyushenko is determined to carve out his own empire, even if it means war with the New York Mafia. As tensions mount, Angelo is assigned to an elite undercover unit led by straight-laced Iraq War hero Sergeant Michael Frakes—while also keeping an eye on Salerno’s growing empire and his boss’s jealous, reckless son, Joey.

With an internal affairs investigation closing in and betrayal lurking around every corner, Angelo’s loyalty will be tested like never before. But in a city where violence rules and enemies lurk on all sides, how long can a man walk both worlds before one swallows him whole?

From the gritty streets of Brooklyn to the sun-soaked chaos of Beachside Florida, this high-stakes thriller delivers brutal action, razor-sharp dialogue, and an unflinching look at the cost of power. Fans of hard-hitting realism and explosive crime fiction won’t want to miss this ride.
