As my friend Angela Atkins wrote recently, “Don Winslow is a national treasure.” So, you’ll have to forgive my tone of shocked reverence here. It’s impossible to talk about Winslow and his work without falling into hyperbolic platitudes. Winslow’s written fourteen other acclaimed novels, as well as nonfiction and screenplays, and he’s unafraid of going to the mat for what he believes. Between The Cartel and The Border came The Force, the greatest cop novel of the new century. The Cartel trilogy is a high-wire act that spans almost half a century, tracing the history of the War on Drugs and calling into question our very notion of borders and the nature of crime and obsession.
The Border, his newest, is the final book of a trilogy that began with The Power of the Dog in 2005 and continued with The Cartel in 2015. No one writes crime epics like Don Winslow.
