Reviews
"It's a crime classic. Winslow's best book, by far. You won't put it down." -- Stephen King on City of Dreams "Don Winslow is one of three living crime writers that I am hopelessly addicted to. City of Dreams is a mesmerizing coast-to-coast crime epic. Danny Ryan is a good guy, a bad guy, a wonderfully complicated, unforgettable human. City of Dreams is part of a trilogy but you can start anywhere. So go ahead, start." -- James Patterson "Masterfully executed with class." -- Washington Post on City of Dreams "The second volume in Winslow's Danny Ryan trilogy delivers on all the promise of its predecessor. . . the Danny Ryan saga draws great power from its consummate portrait of a man whose unshakable humanity imperils him just as it offers the possibility of salvation." -- Booklist (starred review) on City of Dreams "With the Danny Ryan trilogy, Winslow seems destined to claim a place beside Mario Puzo's The Godfather on the Mount Rushmore of American crime fiction." -- Associated Press, "[A] dramatic conclusion. . . If you love good crime writing but aren't familiar with Winslow's work, read this trilogy in order." -- Kirkus Reviews If this really is Winslow's final novel, as he's said it will be, then he's going out on a high note. The follow-up to City on Fire (2021) and City of Dreams (2023) showcases everything that makes Winslow a spectacular writer: brilliantly realized characters, dialogue that rings true, and a story that explores the darkness that exists within each of us -- Booklist After a long and influential career, Don Winslow delivers his swan song, treating readers to one final epic reading experience. . . City in Ruins is an instant classic and some of the finest writing you'll find in print today. -- The Real Book Spy "Don Winslow is one of three living crime writers that I am hopelessly addicted to.
