Don Winslow, "The Border"

Don Winslow discusses his novel, "The Border", at Politics and Prose on 3/1/19.
Winslow’s crime thrillers have won audiences world-wide, and many-Savages, The Death and Life of Bobby Z, The Force-have been turned into acclaimed films. His latest book joins The Power of the Dog and The Cartel to conclude his award-winning trilogy on the drug trade. Again featuring Art Keller, now in the top ranks of the DEA after a forty-year career, the novel follows the agent from his successful efforts to defeat the Mexican drug kingpin Adán Barrera into an even more dangerous fight against the heroin epidemic. Moving at a fast pace from south of the border and the slums of Guatemala to Wall Street and Washington, D.C., the story pits Keller against not only a new generation of narcos, corrupt cops, and street traffickers but an incoming administration that’s as much his enemy as the old drug cartels were.

Good to see Don Winslow again! - The Power of the Dog is an excellent primer on the beginning of the drug wars wherein there are no winners - and everyone loses.

Don, I love you and your writing! There isn't a single book of yours that I haven't read or don't own! Please keep writing. Don't stop.

Got “The Border” the day it came out and just finished it. What an absolutely incredible read and an amazing conclusion to his “cartel” triology. The story is action packed and ties all three books together nicely. Plus it was a nice return to the wider scope of Power of the Dog, but that’s not a knock against “The Cartel,” as that book was excellent too. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in action/crime/political thrillers, but I would recommend reading them in order (Power of the Dog, The Cartel, The Border) Otherwise the story might be confusing to follow.
