PRAISE FOR DON WINSLOW

‘All of Winslow’s books are well plotted, gritty and often disturbingly violent. This is a mob story rival to The Godfather. There can be no higher price.’ The Tablet

“City in Ruins is Don Winslow showing the rest of us how it’s done. Nobody does it better. The novel builds and builds, the drama, the suspense, our feelings for the central characters – and then everything comes together. Actually, everything explodes. It’s a beautiful, artful thing. Winslow has saved the best for last.” James Patterson

‘With his compelling characters, his vivid prose, and his exploration of universal themes, Winslow has produced a masterpiece of modern crime fiction’ UK Times
