Week 5 - 2026 | City of War by Neil Russell | Thriller Analysis & Power Explained

Описание: What looks like a random freeway kidnapping turns into something way bigger—and way darker. City of War by Neil Russell drops us into a world where wealth, military power, and global crime collide, and nobody walks away clean.

In this 30-minute deep dive, we break down the full story of Lord Black—a former soldier with elite connections—whose search for the truth behind a brutal abduction exposes an international conspiracy involving stolen art, organized crime, and a decades-old plane crash with lethal consequences. This isn’t just a thriller. It’s a study of power, legacy, and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.
