Following City on Fire, the epic novel that instantly hit the New York Times bestseller list and was called The Godfather of our generation by Adrian McKinty, comes the second novel in El cartel, Don Winslow's epic trilogy.

Danny Ryan is on the run after losing a bloody war pitting East Coast criminal gangs against each other. The mob, police and FBI want him dead or in prison. Accompanied by his young son, his old father and the battered remnants of his faction of loyal soldiers, Danny sets out for California ready to start a new life.

However, the feds pick up his trail and ask him for a favor that could earn him a fortune or cost him his life. And when Hollywood starts shooting a movie based on his past, Danny demands a share of the profits and begins to rebuild his criminal empire.

Then he falls in love with a beautiful movie star who also has a dark past of her own. As their worlds collide in an explosion that could destroy them both, Danny is forced to fight for survival in the city where dreams are born. Or where they go to die.

From the shores of Rhode Island to the deserts of California where bodies disappear, from the power corridors of Washington where the real criminals operate to the fabled movie studios of Hollywood where the real money is made, City of Dreams is a sweeping saga of family, love, revenge, survival and the fierce reality behind the dream.
