City in Ruins

comes together. Actually, everything explodes. It's a beautiful, artful thing. Winslow has saved the best for last." - James Patterson "Bolstered by careful plotting and meticulous attention to character, Winslow's ambitious narrative culminates with an exhilarating climax that beautifully wraps up the series' many plot threads. It's a fitting swan song from a giant of crime fiction." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "With City in Ruins, Winslow wraps up a spectacular crime fiction trilogy: a sweeping story that morphs and expands over time." - Washington Post"[A] dramatic conclusion. . . If you love good crime writing but aren't familiar with Winslow's work, read this trilogy in order." - Kirkus ReviewsIf this really is Winslow's final novel, as he's said it will be, then he's going out on a high note. The follow-up to City on Fire (2021) and City of Dreams (2023) showcases everything that makes Winslow a spectacular writer: brilliantly realised characters, dialogue that rings true, and a story that explores the darkness that exists within each of us - BooklistAfter a long and influential career, Don Winslow delivers his swan song, treating readers to one final epic reading experience. . . City in Ruins is an instant classic and some of the finest writing you'll find in print today. - The Real Book Spy "Don Winslow is one of three living crime writers that I am hopelessly addicted to. City of Dreams is a mesmerising coast-to-coast crime epic. Danny Ryan is a good guy, a bad guy, a wonderfully complicated, unforgettable human. City of Dreams is part of a trilogy but you can start anywhere. So go ahead, start." - James Patterson "It's a crime classic. Winslow's best book, by far. You won't put it down." - Stephen King on City of Dreams "Masterfully executed with class." - Washington Post on City of Dreams "The second volume in Winslow's Danny Ryan trilogy delivers on all the promise of its predecessor. . . the Danny Ryan saga draws great power from its consummate portrait of a man whose unshakable humanity imperils him just as it offers the possibility of salvation." - Booklist (starred review) on City of Dreams "With the Danny Ryan trilogy, Winslow seems destined to claim a place beside Mario Puzo's The Godfather on the Mount Rushmore of American crime fiction." - Associated Press.
