and the final book of Winslow's extraordinary career. Sometimes you
have to become what you hate to protect what you love. Danny Ryan

they vow to take everything - not only his empire, not just his
life, but all that he holds dear, including his son. To save his
life and everything he loves, Danny must become the ruthless
fighter he once was - and never wanted to be again. Ranging from
the gritty back rooms of Providence, RI to the power corridors of
Washington, DC and Wall Street to the golden casinos of Las Vegas,
City in Ruins is an epic crime novel of love and hate, ambition and
desperation, vengeance and compassion.

'You can't ask for more emotionally moving entertainment' Stephen
King A riveting collection of original fiction from the revered #1
international bestselling author of The Cartel trilogy and The
Force No matter how you come into this world, you come out
broken... In six intense, haunting short novels, Don Winslow
returns to the themes that are the hallmarks of his acclaimed body
of work - crime, corruption, vengeance, justice, loss, betrayal,
guilt, and redemption - to explore the savagery and nobility that
drive and define the human condition. In Broken, Winslow creates a
world of high-level thieves and low-life crooks, obsessed cops and
jaded private detectives, dope dealers and government agents,
bounty hunters and fugitives. Diverse and richly drawn, these
characters - some familiar, others new - are lost souls driving
without headlights on the dark highway of modern America. Set in
New Orleans and Hawaii, Southern California and south Texas, each
story in this collection is distinctively Winslow, shaped by his
trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, drama, and consummate
literary craftsmanship. A powerful, gripping collection of tales
that will become classics of crime fiction, Broken is Don Winslow
at his nerve-shattering, heartbreaking best. "A master of thrills
shows his range, and his bite . . . [Winslow is] a writer from whom
others can learn the ropes." New York Times Praise for Don Winslow
'A huge, immersive, violent, compassionate read' Ian Rankin 'He's a
master' Michael Connelly 'One of the great literary achievements of
the century so far' Daily Telegraph 'Such crime writing deserves
nothing less than a Pulitzer Prize' Evening Standard 'A new crime
classic ... a stirring, stupendous novel' Sunday Times 'He is a
pleasure to read' The Times 'Brutal and brilliant, this is crime's
Game of Thrones' Sun 'A furious, impassioned novel' Washington Post
'Devastating and timely ... a hybrid The Godfather and War and
Peace' New York Times
The new thriller from the #1 international bestseller - the start of a brand new trilogy.
Providence, Rhode Island, 1986. Twenty-nine-year-old Danny Ryan is a hard-working longshoreman, loving husband, loyal friend, and occasional "muscle" for the Irish crime syndicate that oversees much of the city. He yearns for something more and dreams of starting over fresh, someplace far away. But when a modern-day Helen of Troy triggers a war between rival mob factions, Danny is embroiled in a conflict he can't escape. Now it is up to him to step into the breach to protect his family, the friends who are closer to him than brothers, and the only home he's ever known.
Exploring classic themes of loyalty, betrayal, honour, and corruption on both sides of the law, City on Fire is a contemporary Iliad from Don Winslow, "one of America's greatest storytellers" (Stephen King).

New York Times Bestseller Following the epic, ambitious, instant
New York Times bestseller City on Fire, "The Godfather for our
generation" (Adrian McKinty), comes the dramatic second novel in an
epic crime trilogy from Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling
author of the Cartel trilogy (The Power of the Dog, The Cartel and
The Border). Hollywood. The city where dreams are made. On the
losing side of a bloody East Coast crime war, Danny Ryan is now on
the run. The Mafia, the cops, the FBI all want him dead or in
prison. With his little boy, his elderly father and the tattered
remnants of his loyal crew of soldiers, he makes the classic
American migration to California to start a new life. A quiet,
peaceful existence. But the Feds track him down and want Danny to
do them a favor that could make him a fortune or kill him. And when
Hollywood starts shooting a film based on his former life, Danny
demands a piece of the action and begins to rebuild his criminal
empire. Then he falls in love. With a beautiful movie star who has
a dark past of her own. As their worlds collide in an explosion
that could destroy them both, Danny Ryan has to fight for his life
in a city where dreams are born. Or where they go to die. From the
shores of Rhode Island to the deserts of California where bodies
disappear, from the power corridors of Washington where the real
criminals operate to the fabled movie studios of Hollywood where
the real money is made, City of Dreams is a sweeping saga of
family, love, revenge, survival and the fierce reality behind the
dream.
In Savages, Don Winslow introduced Ben and Chon, twenty-something
best friends who risk everything to save the girl they both love,
O. Among the most celebrated literary thrillers in recent memory,
Savages was a Top 10 Book of the Year selection by Janet Maslin in
the New York Times and Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly.
Now, in this high-octane prequel, Winslow reaches back in time to
tell the story of how Ben, Chon, and O became the people they are.
Spanning from 1960s Southern California to the recent past, The
Kings of Cool is a breathtak-ingly original saga of family in all
its forms--fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, friends and
lovers. As the trio at the center of the book does battle with a
cabal of drug dealers and crooked cops, they come to learn that
their future is inextricably linked with their parents' history. A
series of breakneck twists and turns puts the two generations on a
collision course, culminating in a stunning showdown that will
force Ben, Chon, and O to choose between their real families and
their loyalty to one another.

A "New York Times," "Entertainment Weekly," and "Chicago Sun-Times"
Favorite Book of the Year
"A revelation...This is "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" on
autoload." --Stephen King, "Entertainment Weekly"
"Startling...Stylish...Mega-cool." --Janet Maslin, "The New York
Times"
Ben, Chon, and O are twentysomething best friends living the dream
in Southern California. Together they have made a small fortune
producing premium grade marijuana, a product so potent that the
Mexican Baja Cartel demands a cut. When Ben and Chon refuse to back
down, the cartel kidnaps O, igniting a dizzying array of
high-octane negotiations and stunning plot twists as they risk
everything to free her. The result is a provocative, sexy, and
darkly engrossing thrill ride, an ultracontemporary love story that
will leave you breathless.
"A spellbinding tour de force that is utterly impossible to put
down." --Christopher Reich
"This is the story of love's costs--and the acceptance of whatever
that cost entails." --Randy Michael Signor, "Chicago Sun-Times"
"A wickedly funny and smart novel." --Janet Evanovich
"Winslow's marvelous, adrenaline-juiced roller coaster of a
novel...is both a departure and a culmination, pyrotechnic
braggadocio and deep meditation on contemporary American culture."
--Sarah Weinman, "Los Angeles Times"

‘Probably the best cop novel ever written’ Lee Child From the
New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel – winner of the
Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for Best Thriller of the Year –
comes The Force, a cinematic epic as explosive, powerful, and
unforgettable as The Wire. Everyone can be bought. At the right
price… Detective sergeant Denny Malone leads an elite unit to
fight gangs, drugs and guns in New York. For eighteen years he’s
been on the front lines, doing whatever it takes to survive in a
city built by ambition and corruption, where no one is clean. What
only a few know is that Denny Malone himself is dirty: he and his
partners have stolen millions of dollars in drugs and cash. Now
he’s caught in a trap and being squeezed by the FBI, and he must
walk a thin line of betrayal, while the city teeters on the brink
of a racial conflagration that could destroy them all. Don
Winslow’s latest novel is a haunting story of greed and violence,
inequality and race, and a searing portrait of a city on the edge
of an abyss. Full of shocking twists, this is a morally complex and
riveting dissection of the controversial issues confronting society
today. ‘There won’t be a better cop novel this year than The
Force by Don Winslow. Not next year, or the year after that,
either’ Linwood Barclay ‘Intensely human in its tragic details,
positively Shakespearian in its epic sweep – probably the best
cop novel ever written’ Lee Child ‘Mesmerizing, a triumph.
Think The Godfather, only with cops. It’s that good’ Stephen
King ‘Nobody understands the disaster of corruption better than
Don Winslow. The Force exposes the dawning horror of how it eats
into the best intentions’ Val McDermid, No.1 bestselling author
of Out of Bounds ‘Hard-hitting … one of the great works of
fiction about the police … superbly chronicled’ The Times
