Bøger af Don Winslow

A novel that features a mixed group of characters, each in his or her own way seeking some sort of salvation or redemption. It talks about the plot: how the US government and some of its quasi-autonomous agencies (CIA, FBI, DEA) all for their own reasons sponsored and financed the development of the drug cartels and their trade in Mexico.

DEA agent Art Keller has been fighting the war on drugs for thirty years in a blood feud against Adan Barrera, the head of El Federacion, the world's most powerful cartel, and the man who brutally murdered Keller's partner. Finally putting Barrera away costs Keller dearly - the woman he loves, the beliefs he cherishes, the life he wants to lead.

ThinkThe Godfather, only with cops. Its that good.Stephen KingThe acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling author of The Cartelvoted one of the Best Books of the Year by more than sixty publications, including the New York Timesmakes his William Morrow debut with a cinematic epic as explosive, powerful, and unforgettable as Mystic River and The Wire.Our ends know our beginnings, but the reverse isnt true . . . All Denny Malone wants is to be a good cop.He is the King of Manhattan North, a, highly decorated NYPD detective sergeant and the real leader of Da Force. Malone and his crew are the smartest, the toughest, the quickest, the bravest, and the baddest, an elite special unit given unrestricted authority to wage war on gangs, drugs and guns. Every day and every night for the eighteen years hes spent on the Job, Malone has served on the front lines, witnessing the hurt, the dead, the victims, the perps. Hes done whatever it takes to serve and protect in a city built by ambition and corruption, where no one is cleanincluding Malone himself. What only a few know is that Denny Malone is dirty: he and his partners have stolen millions of dollars in drugs and cash in the wake of the biggest heroin bust in the citys history. Now Malone is caught in a trap and being squeezed by the Feds, and he must walk the thin line between betraying his brothers and partners, the Job, his family, and the woman he loves, trying to survive, body and soul, while the city teeters on the brink of a racial conflagration that could destroy them all. Based on years of research inside the NYPD, this is the great cop novel of our time and a book only Don Winslow could write: a haunting and heartbreaking story of greed and violence, inequality and race, crime and injustice, retribution and redemption that reveals the seemingly insurmountable tensions between the police and the diverse citizens they serve. A searing portrait of a city and a courageous, heroic, and deeply flawed man who stands at the edge of its abyss, The Force is a masterpiece of urban living full of shocking and surprising twists, leavened by flashes of dark humor, a morally complex and utterly riveting dissection of modern American society and the controversial issues confronting and dividing us today.

THE HIGH-OCTANE PREQUEL TO SAVAGESIn Savages, Don Winslow introduced Ben and Chon, twentysomething best friends who risk everything to save the girl they both love, O. This is the story of how Ben, Chon and O became the people they are.

Part-time environmentalist and philanthropist Ben and his ex-mercenary buddy Chon run a Laguna Beach-based marijuana operation, reaping significant profits from their loyal clientele. When they refuse to back down, the cartel escalates its threat, kidnapping Ophelia, the boys' playmate and confidante.

The woman on the bed had died in the fire. And Wade is the best there is: fires talk to him, tell him exactly what happened, and how. As Wade fights the decision, as he gathers more evidence, he begins to uncover a world of corruption where nothing is quite what it seems, a world where it's not fire that talks, but money.

Ben og Chon dyrker og sælger den bedste pot i det sydlige Californien, og kunderne er vilde med den. Forretningen går derfor strygende, og da de samtidig er vilde med Ophelia, som er vild med dem begge to, er livet godt. Lige indtil det store mexikanske narkoforetagende, Baja Kartellet, meddeler, at de overtager forretningen. Meddelelsen er ledsaget af et videoklip med ni hovedløse kroppe hængende på kødkroge og de ni hoveder pænt sat på række foran. ”Fuck jer,” er Chons reaktion. Han er af natur fåmælt, men i dette tilfælde finder Ben udsagnet helt dækkende, så det bliver deres svar til Baja Kartellet – som tager svaret meget personligt . Og så går det løs!Bogen er filmatiseret med Oliver Stone som instruktør og bl.a. John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Salma Hayek og Benicio del Toro på rollelisten. Filmen får dansk premiere i efteråret 2012.Don Winslows bøger er blevet begejstret modtaget i Danmark.

The former dock worker, Irish mob soldier and fugitive from the law is now a respected businessman - a Las Vegas casino mogul and billionaire silent partner in a group that owns two lavish hotels.

When he tries to buy an old hotel on a prime piece of real estate with plans to build his dream resort, he triggers a war against Las Vegas power brokers, a powerful FBI agent bent on revenge and a rival casino owner with dark connections of his own. Danny thought he had buried his past, but now it reaches up to him from the grave to pull him down. Old enemies surface, and when they come for Danny 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."--
