Don Winslow''s acclaimed fiction collection, featuring "Crime 101," soon to be a major motion picture starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Monica Barbaro.
No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . .
Hailed as "one of America''s greatest storytellers" (Stephen King), #1 international bestseller Don Winslow returns with six intense short novels with characters--some familiar, some new-- connected by the themes of crime, vengeance, guilt and redemption. It includes:
With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that will become classics of crime fiction.
"While Winslow is in widely fluent in many different prose techniques -- from the twisty punchline felonies of Elmore Leonard and Robert B. Parker to the rebop riffs of James Ellroy to mega-works of dark literature a la Cormac McCarthy and James Lee Burke -- he''s not ''copying'' anyone. He''s writing his OWN masterpieces and just happens to do so in the fashion appropriate to the work. . . . Every piece in Broken is a winner and compellingly different." -- The Day (CT)
"Broken will make you laugh and cry, but in the end will explain why The New York Times thinks Winslow is simply ''the greatest.'' . . . He crafts every sentence until it beats to a rhythm of its own. . . . Broken is devastating and brilliant." -- Sydney Morning Herald
