The Winter of Frankie Machine by Don Winslow
Years ago, Frank consigned his mob ties to the past, which is where he wants them to stay. But a favour called in by the local boss is one Frank simply can't refuse, and before he knows it he's sucked back into the treacherous currents of his former life.Praise for The Power of the Dog:
No one since James Ellroy has conveyed the morally troubled heart of the American dream with such savage aim.. A future classic.
Don Winslow is the kind of cult writer who is so good you almost want to keep him to yourself -- Ian Rankin
The first great dope novel since Dog Soldiers thirty years ago. It's frightening and sad, with a superbly sustained intensity. A beautifully compressed vision of hell, with all its attendant moral madness -- James Ellroy
A damn good read. If you've never read Don Winslow, start now -- Val McDermid
It is impossible in a few words to do [it] justice... It's a huge book, both in size and scope * Sunday Telegraph *
