quote:
Two criminal empires together control all of New England.
Until a beautiful woman comes between the Irish and the Italians, launching a war that will see them kill each other, destroy an alliance, and set a city on fire.
Danny Ryan yearns for a more “legit” life and a place in the sun. But as the bloody conflict stacks body on body and brother turns against brother, Danny has to rise above himself. To save the friends he loves like family and the family he has sworn to protect, he becomes a leader, a ruthless strategist, and a master of a treacherous game in which the winners live and the losers die.
From the gritty streets of Providence to the glittering screens of Hollywood to the golden casinos of Las Vegas, two rival crime families ignite a war that will leave only one standing. The winner will forge a dynasty.
Exploring the classic themes of loyalty, betrayal, and honor, City on Fire is a contemporary masterpiece in the tradition of The Godfather, Casino, and Goodfellas—a thrilling saga from Don Winslow, “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Jon Land, Providence Journal).
Anyone else getting this one? I know his politics will put some people off but I think he might be the best crime writer out there at the moment.
He also announced he is retiring. This trilogy will be his last books and they are all already written.

Power of the Dog is an all time favorite of mine. Don Winslow has lost his frickin mind though over the past few years.

Yeah I mean I try and separate art from artist but he's an absolute lunatic and based on how he talks to people, probably just a bad human being all around.
Which sucks, because I love his work.

Yeah. Its hard to separate the two when he needlessly injects his politics into his books. Really an annoying development for some of my favorite authors here recently.

Solid book so far. About 2/3 thru and no politics!
