Description
Instant New York Times Bestseller!
"The final shattering installment in a gangland trilogy to equal The Godfather. If you like Scarface and Goodfellas, this is where it's at." — Stephen King

"The Godfather for our generation." — Adrian McKinty
From New York Times bestselling author Don Winslow comes City in Ruins – his epic, genre-defining crime masterpiece . . . and the final novel of Winslow's extraordinary career.
Sometimes you have to become what you hate to protect what you love.
Danny Ryan is rich.
Beyond his wildest dreams rich.
The former dock worker, Irish mob soldier and fugitive from the law is now a respected businessman – a Las Vegas casino mogul and billionaire silent partner in a group that owns two lavish hotels. Finally, Danny has it all: a beautiful house, a child he adores, a woman he might even fall in love with.
Life is good.
But then Danny reaches too far.
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, a powerful 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. Old enemies surface, and when they come for Danny they vow to take everything – not only his empire, not just his life, but all that he holds dear, including his son.
To save his life and everything he loves, Danny must become the ruthless fighter he once was – and never wanted to be again.
Ranging from the gritty back rooms of Providence, RI to the power corridors of Washington, DC and Wall Street to the golden casinos of Las Vegas, City in Ruins is an epic crime novel of love and hate, ambition and desperation, vengeance and compassion.

Starred review from February 12, 2024
Winslow (City of Dreams) concludes his Danny Ryan trilogy—and his career as a novelist—with an addictive finale that charts the Rhode Island mobster turned Las Vegas casino mogul’s turbulent business dealings and deadly feuds. In 1997, Ryan has relocated from California to Sin City, using millions of dollars of stolen cartel money to buy his way into the thriving Tara Group corporation. As director of hotel operations, Ryan owns two leading properties on the Strip, with ambitions to build a third: his elegant dream hotel, Il Sogno. When Ryan’s chief rival, Vernon Winegard, bids on a crumbling 1950s relic in a prime location for Il Sogno, Ryan slyly undermines the sale, blocking Vernon’s plans to dominate the Strip. Retaliatory moves from Vernon, together with FBI subdirector Regina Moneta’s relentless efforts to get revenge on Ryan for his role in the death of her lover 10 years earlier, soon demolish his hotelier dreams and turn his days into a gory fight for survival. Bolstered by careful plotting and meticulous attention to character, Winslow’s ambitious narrative culminates with an exhilarating climax that beautifully wraps up the series’ many plot threads. It’s a fitting swan song from a giant of crime fiction. Agent: Shane Salerno, Story Factory.

- content: In the final book in the Danny Ryan Trilogy, a masterpiece of crime writing, Ari Fliakos delivers an astounding, empathetic performance. Rhode Island Irish mobster Danny Ryan's journey began decades ago when he evolved from a longshoreman to a small-time mobster and then to a multimillionaire Las Vegas hotelier. Winslow based Ryan's journey on the Greek tragedies THE ILIAD, THE AENEID, and THE ODYSSEY. Ryan experiences true love, devastating heartbreak, and unthinkable violence as he faces foes and scheming entrepreneurs, aided and abetted by Fliakos's deft handling of accents, tempo, and emphasis. This epic tale of vengeance and violence is considered to be this generation's GODFATHER. The best way to experience it is through Fliakos's flawless delivery. R.O.

Starred review from September 1, 2024
Winslow (The Border; The Force) offers a tour de force ending to "The Danny Ryan Trilogy"; Winslow has announced that this will be his final novel. Once the head of a Rhode Island criminal empire, Danny Ryan is hoping to leave his shady past behind. He's moved to Las Vegas, where he seems to have it all--lucrative investments in the casino business and a fledgling family. When he bids on a strategically placed property, however, powerful enemies, including an FBI agent seeking retribution for her lover's death 10 years earlier and a rival power broker, seek to take him down. Organized crime, gambling, and high finance come together, creating an explosive listen with an unexpected but wholly satisfying ending. Award-winning narrator Ari Fliakos's performance is not to be missed. He skillfully navigates between Winslow's time-honored but still relevant themes as he delivers compelling and well-developed character portraits. He blends accents and emotions into a splendid performance, tapping into the complexity and richness of Winslow's prose. VERDICT A thrilling ending to a spectacular crime fiction series. Dramatic, outrageous, yet nuanced, this goes to the top of the list.--Scott DiMarco
