博客來＂The best crime fiction I’ve read in twenty years.＂ -- Stephen King
#1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow--America’s King of Crime Fiction--is back and he’s better than ever.
The trademark literary style, trenchant wit, and incisive characterization that have made Don Winslow a repeat New York Times bestselling author and ＂America’s greatest living crime writer＂ (Providence Journal)are on brilliant display in this new book sure to delight Winslow’s most devoted fans and first-time readers.
The multi-million-dollar casino heist is impossible--it can’t be done. That’s what makes it irresistible to a legendary robber facing the rest of his life in prison for his ＂Final Score.＂ An ambitious, hard-working college-bound teenager has a side job delivering illegal booze to ＂The Sunday List＂ until a crooked cop, a seductive customer, and a fake guru threaten to end his dreams. Two wise guys tell each other a ＂True Story＂ over breakfast at a diner. It’s all bullshit and laughs until someone else has to pick up the check. An otherwise honest patrolman has to make an excruciating choice between his loyalty to the job and his love for a ne’er-do-well cousin in ＂The North Wing.＂ The entitled, substance-addicted movie star that surfer/PI Boone Daniels and his crew are hired to babysit in ＂The Lunch Break＂ is a problem. She also has a problem--someone wants her dead. Finally, the one terrible, momentary mistake that a devoted family man makes sends him to prison and on a ＂Collision＂ course between the man he wants to be and the killer he’s forced to become to survive.
The Final Score is a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive book of crime writing -- the ultimate testament to Don Winslow’s prowess as a living legend of the genre.
