Don Winslow Livres

QUAND TOUT LE SYSTÈME EST POURRI AUTANT JOUER SELON SES PROPRES RÈGLES Denny Malone est le roi de Manhattan North, le leader charismatique de La Force, une unité d’élite qui fait la loi dans les rues de New York et n’hésite pas à se salir les mains pour combattre les gangs, les dealers et les trafiquants d’armes. Après dix-huit années de service, il est respecté et admiré de tous. Mais le jour où, après une descente, Malone et sa garde rapprochée planquent pour des millions de dollars de drogue, la ligne jaune est franchie. Le FBI le rattrape et va tout mettre en œuvre pour le force à dénoncer ses coéquipiers. Dans le même temps, il devient une cible pour les mafieux et les politiques corrompus. Seulement, Malone connaît tous leurs secrets. Et tous, il peut les faire tomber… À travers une narration abrupte et remarquablement réaliste, faisant écho à l’œuvre de Dennis Lehane comme aux films de Martin Scorsese, James Gray et Brian de Palma, Don Winslow livre un roman policier magistral, tableau étourdissant du crime organisé, actuellement en cours d’adaptation au cinéma par James Mangold (Copland).

Frank Macchiano, un homme d'affaires divorcé et passionné de surf à San Diego, mène une vie tranquille. Cependant, son passé de tueur à gages, Frankie Machine, le rattrape lorsque quelqu'un veut le tuer. Il doit retrouver son agresseur parmi une longue liste de suspects.

Boone Daniels ne pense qu'au surf. Avec sa « patrouille » - quatre garçons et une fille qui les vaut tous -, il affronte les vagues tous les matins. Pour assurer son quotidien, il est détective privé. Boone a l'air cool, comme ça, mais un drame le ronge : quand il était flic, la petite Rain a disparu, et elle n'a jamais été retrouvée. La défenestration d'une strip-teaseuse lui donne l'occasion de se racheter : chargé de l'enquête, il met au jour l'exploitation de très jeunes clandestines mexicaines dans les champs de fraises de l'arrière-pays. Et cela juste au moment où l'on annonce la plus grosse houle jamais vue sur la plage de San Diego... un vrai rêve de surfeur...Le comparant à Elmore Leonard, Michael Connelly ne peut trouver plus juste parenté. On imagine sans peine une adaptation de ce roman très parlé et très visuel par un Tarantino. Bruno Corty, Le Figaro littéraire.

What do you do when there are no borders? When the lines you thought existed simply vanish? How do you plant your feet to make a stand when you no longer know what side you're on?The war has come home. For over forty years, Art Keller has been on the front lines of America's longest conflict: The War on Drugs. His obsession to defeat the world's most powerful, wealthy, and lethal kingpin--the godfather of the Sinaloa Cartel, Ada?n Barrera--has left him bloody and scarred, cost him the people he loves, even taken a piece of his soul. Now Keller is elevated to the highest ranks of the DEA, only to find that in destroying one monster he has created thirty more that are wreaking even more chaos and suffering in his beloved Mexico. But not just there. Barrera's final legacy is the heroin epidemic scourging America. Throwing himself into the gap to stem the deadly flow, Keller finds himself surrounded by enemies--men who want to kill him, politicians who want to destroy him, and worse, the unimaginable--an incoming administration that's in bed with the very drug traffickers that Keller is trying to bring down. Art Keller is at war with not only the cartels, but with his own government. And the long fight has taught him more than he ever imagined. Now, he learns the final lesson--there are no borders. In a story that moves from deserts of Mexico to Wall Street, from the slums of Guatemala to the marbled corridors of Washington, D.C., Winslow follows a new generation of narcos, the cops who fight them, street traffickers, addicts, politicians, money-launderers, real-estate moguls, and mere children fleeing the violence for the chance of a life in a new country. A shattering tale of vengeance, violence, corruption and justice, this last novel in Don Winslow's magnificent, award-winning, internationally bestselling trilogy is packed with unforgettable, drawn-from-the-headlines scenes. Shocking in its brutality, raw in its humanity, The Border is an unflinching portrait of modern America, a story of--and for--our time
