“Don Winslow is one of three living crime
writers that I am hopelessly addicted to. — James Patterson
Legendary
author Don Winslow will take the National Writers Series stage to promote City in Ruins–the explosive conclusion
of his epic Danny Ryan trilogy. (But
no worries, although it follows City on
Fire and City of Dreams, you can
start anywhere.)
Don Winslow–a former investigator, anti-terrorist trainer
and trial consultant–has announced that City
in Ruins will be the final novel of his extraordinary career. This will be your first and last chance
to see him in Traverse City! Guest host is #1 New York Times bestselling author
Doug Stanton.
City in Ruins tells the tale of how
you sometimes must become what you
hate to protect what you love. And we are talking about Danny Ryan, who is
beyond his wildest dreams rich.
Once
a dock worker, Irish mob soldier and fugitive from the law, he is now a
respectable businessman – a Las Vegas casino mogul and billionaire partner in a
group that owns two lavish hotels. He finally has it all: a beautiful house, a
child he adores, a woman he might even fall in love with. But
when he tries to buy an old hotel on a prime piece of real estate with plans to
build his dream resort, he triggers a war against Las Vegas power brokers, an
FBI agent bent on revenge, and a rival casino owner with dark connections of
his own.
Danny
thought he had buried his past, but now it reaches up to him from the grave to
pull him down. To save his life and everything he loves, Danny must become the
ruthless fighter he once was – and never wanted to be again.
And
just how legendary is Don Winslow?
He is the author of twenty-five
acclaimed, award-winning international bestsellers, including seven New York
Times bestsellers. Savages was made
into a feature film by Oscar-winning writer-director Oliver Stone. Winslow's
epic Cartel trilogy was adapted for TV and will appear as a weekly series on
FX. Additional Winslow books are currently in development at Paramount (The Winter of Frankie Machine), Netflix
(Boone Daniels), Warner Brothers (Satori),
Sony (City on Fire, City of Dreams, City in Ruins) and Working Title (“Crime 101”). He has recently
written a series of acclaimed and award winning short stories for Audible
narrated by four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris.
Doors open at 6 p.m. with

The event begins at 7 p.m.
and includes a Q and A and author signing. Each ticket comes with a hardcover
