Newest Review: ... always run a bait shop, he was once known as Frankie ‘Machine’, one of the most ruthless Mafia hit men around. He thought ... more
... that he had managed to leave that life behind, but someone has a long standing grievance against him. Can Frank discover who is after him, and why, before it’s too late?
Winslow has once more created a fantastically dark and adult novel that wants you to read it in one uber-session. The writing is of the best quality that I have read in the crime genre and can only be matched by another of my favourites Robert Ferrigno. ‘Winter’ is very noirish and has the same great pacing that made some of the best genre films fr...more

Rating:
There are some authors that you read who stand head and shoulders above the rest; when it comes to gritty crime noir that man is Don Winslow. The past two books that I have read of his have been absolute classics ‘California Fire and Life’ and ‘The Power of the Dog’. Winslow is able to marry fantastic character development, great stories and in-depth research. Rather than being dry studies into insurance fraud and the drugs trade Winslow creates epics that feel more like film. With such a high quality back catalogue any new book by a favourite author is met with a mixture of anticipation and worry. Could it possibly live up to the quality of their past work?
