New Releases by Don Winslow

“The best crime fiction I've read in twenty years.” — Stephen King #1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow—America’s King of Crime Fiction—is back and he’s better than ever. The trademark literary style, trenchant wit, and incisive characterization that have made Don Winslow a repeat New York Times bestselling author and “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Providence Journal)are on brilliant display in this new book sure to delight Winslow’s most devoted fans and first-time readers. The multi-million-dollar casino heist is impossible—it can’t be done. That’s what makes it irresistible to a legendary robber facing the rest of his life in prison for his “Final Score.” An ambitious, hard-working college-bound teenager has a side job delivering illegal booze to “The Sunday List” until a crooked cop, a seductive customer, and a fake guru threaten to end his dreams. Two wise guys tell each other a “True Story” over breakfast at a diner. It’s all bullshit and laughs until someone else has to pick up the check. An otherwise honest patrolman has to make an excruciating choice between his loyalty to the job and his love for a ne’er-do-well cousin in “The North Wing.” The entitled, substance-addicted movie star that surfer/PI Boone Daniels and his crew are hired to babysit in “The Lunch Break” is a problem. She also has a problem—someone wants her dead. Finally, the one terrible, momentary mistake that a devoted family man makes sends him to prison and on a “Collision” course between the man he wants to be and the killer he’s forced to become to survive. The Final Score is a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive book of crime writing — the ultimate testament to Don Winslow's prowess as a living legend of the genre.

Don Winslow, maestro del crime internazionale, ci regala sei storie che parlano di corruzione e vendetta, perdita e tradimento, colpa e redenzione. In un mosaico narrativo composto da sei intensi e tormentati romanzi brevi, uno degli scrittori statunitensi più amati al mondo ritorna ai temi cardine della sua opera e ad alcuni dei suoi personaggi più iconici, per esplorare la ferocia ma anche la nobiltà che definiscono la condizione umana. Da questo libro, già pubblicato con il titolo Broken, a Febbraio 2026 un grande film con Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan e Monica Barbaro. Una serie di furti di gioielli sulla Highway 101 è rimasta irrisolta per anni, perché il ladro si attiene scrupolosamente a un ferreo codice di comportamento. Ma l’istinto del detective Lou Lubesnick gli dice che è il lavoro di un solo uomo: per stanarlo lui è disposto a infrangere ogni regola. “Don Winslow si conferma un purosangue, in grado di dare al lettore intrattenimento allo stato puro senza lesinare sulla commedia sociale, pigiando sull’acceleratore quando si tratta di cogliere e far risaltare i risvolti quotidiani dell'inefficienza nella guerra alla droga… un titolo imperdibile per i suoi appassionati” — Francesco Musolino, Il Messaggero “Winslow si conferma ancora una volta uno dei maestri del thriller. E dimostra di avere mordente. Tutti dovrebbero imparare da lui” — New York Times “Don Winslow usa uno stile personalissimo senza mai riscrivere lo stesso libro. Ha costruito un corpus di romanzi che raccontano l’America del suo tempo attraverso i generi” — Matteo Persivale, Corriere della Sera “Ci sono tre scrittori di crime da cui sono irrimediabilmente dipendente. Uno di loro è Don Winslow” — James Patterson "Un maestro del brivido mostra tutta la sua versatilità e la sua grinta... [Winslow è] uno scrittore da cui gli altri possono imparare i trucchi del mestiere" — Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Don Winslow si è fatto un nome con thriller avvincenti su signori della droga, poliziotti corrotti, killer in pensione e surfisti fuorilegge. La sua prosa vivace e colorita e la sua abile sintesi risplendono in questa raccolta di sei novelle” — New York Magazine "Una splendida raccolta di racconti crime" — Kirkus Reviews "Raccontato con grande stile, questo è uno dei miei libri preferiti dell'anno" — Daily Mail

Stad in as is het weergaloze slotdeel in de trilogie van Don Winslow, een van Amerika's grootste verhalenvertellers. Eindelijk heeft Danny Ryan, ex-lid van de Ierse maffia, het allemaal voor elkaar: een prachtig huis, een gelukkig kind en een vrouw op wie hij misschien zelfs verliefd is. In zijn nieuwe leven als zakenman probeert hij een oud hotel in Las Vegas te kopen om er een droomresort van te maken. Maar dan blijkt dat het verleden verre van begraven is en wordt hij zeer tegen zijn zin het harde leven weer in gezogen. Oude vijanden duiken op en dreigen hem alles af te nemen wat hem dierbaar is, inclusief zijn zoon... Stad in as is de afsluiting van Don Winslows bejubelde trilogie over de Ierse en Italiaanse misdaadsyndicaten in het Amerika van de jaren tachtig en negentig. 'Met Stad in as laat Don Winslow de rest van ons zien hoe het moet. Er is niemand die het beter doet. Het boek blijft maar opbouwen; het drama, de spanning, onze gevoelens voor de hoofdpersonen – en dan komt alles samen. Of eigenlijk: dan explodeert alles. Het zit ontzettend slim in elkaar. Winslow bewaart het beste tot het laatst.' James Patterson Over eerder werk: 'Een thriller die niet weg te leggen is. Als je het boek hebt gelezen, weet je dat het waar is. Als dat nog niet zo is, ga dan nu naar de boekhandel.' Stephen King 'Een epische serie die lezers vanaf de eerste pagina zal boeien. Dit is Winslow op zijn best.' Karin Slaughter 'Het beste gangsterverhaal sinds The Godfather.' Steve Cavanagh

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.

Menselijk, eerlijk en bruut. In Gebroken verenigt Don Winslow de belangrijkste thema's binnen de misdaad – corruptie, wraak, rechtvaardigheid, verlies, verraad en schuld – in zes geweldige verhalen. Dit boek neemt je mee in een wereld van professionele dieven, politieagenten, draaideurcriminelen, privédetectives, drugsdealers en verloren zielen in de nacht. Met zijn kenmerkende mix van psychologisch inzicht, humor, actie en een geweldige literaire pen schreef Don Winslow een boek dat voorbestemd is een klassieker te worden in het misdaadgenre.

Sex berättelser från ett land i spillror Kämpande poliser som balanserar på gränsen mellan rätt och fel, som vigt sina liv åt att bekämpa droger och våld. Kriminella på samhällets botten – och på dess toppnivåer. Knarkmiljonärer, diamanttjuvar, prisjägare, privatutredare, människosmugglare, flyktingar och de förlorade själar som utan strålkastare färdas genom nattens mörker längs USA:s kriminella motorvägar. I sex starka, nyskrivna kriminalberättelser skildrar Don Winslow de människor som lever i spillrorna av ett land i sönderfall. Det handlar om korruption, hämnd, rättvisa, förlust, svek, och om människans inneboende grymhet och godhet. Allt skildrat med thrillermästaren Winslows karakteristiska humor, nerv och knivskarpa språk.

Don Winslow’s acclaimed story collection, featuring “Crime 101,” soon to be a major motion picture starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Monica Barbaro, Barry Keoghan, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte. No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . . Hailed as “one of America’s greatest storytellers” (Stephen King), #1 international bestseller Don Winslow returns with six intense short novels with characters—some familiar, some new— connected by the themes of crime, vengeance, guilt and redemption. It includes Crime 101: A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101.” Police attribute the thefts to the Columbian cartels. But Detective Lou Lubesnick’s gut says it’s the work of just one man. Now the lone-wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final last score. And Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101… Broken: In the volume’s title story, police dispatcher Eva McNabb takes the call on a police officer’s brutal murder by a vicious drug gang. It’s her own kid, Danny. Then Eva makes her own call. Summoning her elder son, Jimmy, also a cop, Evan commands: Avenge your brother. I want you to kill them all. The Last Ride: To former solider and cowboy-turned-Board Patrol agent Cal Strickland, the illegals who try to jump his stretch of the Texas-Mexico border are a nameless, faceless group who need to be sent back to their side of the line. That is until he sees the little girl in the cage. And Cal knows that the time has come to make a stand and help her escape. With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that will become classics of crime fiction. “While Winslow is in widely fluent in many different prose techniques — from the twisty punchline felonies of Elmore Leonard and Robert B. Parker to the rebop riffs of James Ellroy to mega-works of dark literature a la Cormac McCarthy and James Lee Burke — he's not ‘copying’ anyone. He's writing his OWN masterpieces and just happens to do so in the fashion appropriate to the work.” — The Day (CT) “Will make you laugh and cry, but in the end will explain why The New York Times thinks Winslow is simply ‘the greatest’ . . . He crafts every sentence until it beats to a rhythm of its own. . . . Broken is devastating and brilliant.” — Sydney Morning Herald

ONE OF THE MOST ACCLAIMED BOOKS OF THE YEAR Contains an excerpt from Don Winslow’s explosive new novel, City on Fire! NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY Washington Post • NPR • Financial Times • The Guardian • Booklist • New Statesman • Daily Telegraph • Irish Times • Dallas Morning News • Sunday Times • New York Post "A big, sprawling, ultimately stunning crime tableau." – Janet Maslin, New York Times "You can't ask for more emotionally moving entertainment." – Stephen King "One of the best thriller writers on the planet." – Esquire The explosive, highly anticipated conclusion to the epic Cartel trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Force What do you do when there are no borders? When the lines you thought existed simply vanish? How do you plant your feet to make a stand when you no longer know what side you’re on? The war has come home. For over forty years, Art Keller has been on the front lines of America’s longest conflict: The War on Drugs. His obsession to defeat the world’s most powerful, wealthy, and lethal kingpin?the godfather of the Sinaloa Cartel, Adán Barrera?has left him bloody and scarred, cost him the people he loves, even taken a piece of his soul. Now Keller is elevated to the highest ranks of the DEA, only to find that in destroying one monster he has created thirty more that are wreaking even more chaos and suffering in his beloved Mexico. But not just there. Barrera’s final legacy is the heroin epidemic scourging America. Throwing himself into the gap to stem the deadly flow, Keller finds himself surrounded by enemies?men who want to kill him, politicians who want to destroy him, and worse, the unimaginable?an incoming administration that’s in bed with the very drug traffickers that Keller is trying to bring down. Art Keller is at war with not only the cartels, but with his own government. And the long fight has taught him more than he ever imagined. Now, he learns the final lesson?there are no borders. In a story that moves from deserts of Mexico to Wall Street, from the slums of Guatemala to the marbled corridors of Washington, D.C., Winslow follows a new generation of narcos, the cops who fight them, street traffickers, addicts, politicians, money-launderers, real-estate moguls, and mere children fleeing the violence for the chance of a life in a new country. A shattering tale of vengeance, violence, corruption and justice, this last novel in Don Winslow’s magnificent, award-winning, internationally bestselling trilogy is packed with unforgettable, drawn-from-the-headlines scenes. Shocking in its brutality, raw in its humanity, The Border is an unflinching portrait of modern America, a story of—and for—our time.

El cártel es una colosal narración que se mueve entre los áridos escenarios mexicanos y los despachos de los poderosos en Washington, y que se extiende hasta ciudades europeas como Berlín y Barcelona. El absorbente trabajo de documentación de Winslow (libros, prensa, fotos, vídeos, encuentros personales...) le ocupó cinco años, y marcó su vida personal por las implicaciones que acarrea adentrarse en un mundo tan increíblemente violento y corrupto. «El periodismo te proporciona los datos, pero la ficción te cuenta la verdad», confesó Don Winslow en una entrevista. Aunque El cártel sea ficción, muchos de los asesinatos, torturas y actuaciones policiales que se describen en el libro se basan en hechos reales, ocurridos sobre todo entre los años 2000 y 2011.

Denny Malone es un condecorado sargento de policía y el auténtico líder de la Unidad Especial de Manhattan Norte. Él y sus hombres son los más listos, los más duros, los más rápidos, los más valientes y los más canallas. Día y noche, durante los dieciocho años que ha pasado en el cuerpo de policía, Malone ha combatido en primera línea de fuego por las calles de Nueva York, una ciudad en la que nadie está limpio, ni siquiera el propio Malone. Ahora que su corrupción está a punto de salir a la luz, deberá decidir de una vez por todas qué significa ser un buen policía.

Recommended for summer reading by Amazon, New York Times, Time, Entertainment Weekly, Newsday, Miami Herald, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Edmond News, Rutland Herald, Seattle Times, AM New York, BookBub, and theREALbookspy.com “The Force is mesmerizing, a triumph. Think The Godfather, only with cops. It’s that good.” — Stephen King The acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling author of The Cartel—voted one of the Best Books of the Year by more than sixty publications, including the New York Times—makes 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 isn’t 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 he’s spent on the Job, Malone has served on the front lines, witnessing the hurt, the dead, the victims, the perps. He’s done whatever it takes to serve and protect in a city built by ambition and corruption, where no one is clean—including 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 city’s 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.

Das faszinierende Krimi-Epos des amerikanischen Bestseller-Autors Don Winslow In den Straßenschluchten von New York entwirft der internationale Star-Autor Don Winslow ein alptraumhaft realistisches Szenario von Drogen, Menschenhandel und Mord. Eine todbringende Allianz von staatlichen Stellen und organisiertem Verbrechen: Sie sehen sich als Elitetruppe der Polizei, eine verschworene Einheit, ausgestattet mit weitreichenden technischen und rechtlichen Möglichkeiten. Gemeinsam sollen sie für Ruhe und Ordnung in ihrem Revier sorgen, dem nördlichen Manhattan. Und genau das tun sie. Hier gelten ihre Spielregeln, hier geschieht nichts ohne ihr Wissen. Doch die Truppe ist extremem Stress ebenso ausgesetzt wie extremen Risiken ... und extremen Verlockungen ... Ein gefeierter Thriller über die kriminellen Machenschaften der New Yorker Polizei. Ein Meisterwerk von Don Winslow – erschütternd, brutal und unnachgiebig. »Don Winslows "Corruption" ist faszinierend, eine echter Wurf. Stellen Sie sich "Der Pate" vor, aber mit Cops. So gut ist es.« – Stephen King »Mit eindringlicher Menschlichkeit in den tragischen Details und mit einer epischen Monumentalität, die geradezu an Shakespeare erinnert – vermutlich der beste Cop-Roman aller Zeiten.« – Lee Child »In diesem epischen Roman voll niederschmetternder moralischer Komplexität blickt Don Winslow durch die Augen eines höchst erfahrenen und korrupten Polizisten tief in die Seele des modernen Amerika. Leser von modernen Meistern wie Don DeLillo, Richard Price und Geroge Pelecanons werden reichlich belohnt werden.« – Publishers Weekly »Don Winslow hat das kreiert, was wahrscheinlich zum Inbegriff des Polizei-Romans werden wird.« – Booklist
