The Winter of Frankie Machine - Don Winslow ... on the San Diego waterfront. That's when he's not juggling any of his other three part-time jobs or trying to get a quick set in on his long board. He's a beloved fixture of the community, a stand-up businessman, a devoted father to his daughter. Frank's also a hit man. Well, a retired hit man. Back in the day, when he was one of the most feared members of the West Coast mob, he was known as Frankie Machine. Years ago, Frank consigned his mob ties to the past, which is where he wants them to stay. But a favor called in by the local boss is one Frank simply can't refuse, and before he knows it, he's sucked back into the treacherous currents of his former life. Someone from his past wants him dead, and he has to figure out who, and why, and he has to do it fast. The problem is that the list of candidates is about the size of his local phone book and Frank's rapidly running out of time.

 ... 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

Premium Review The Winter of Frankie Machine - Don Winslow: Robert DeNiro's Calling (839 words)
by - written on 24/05/07 (Very useful, 111 readings)
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.
