Broken
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
"One of America's greatest storytellers." – Stephen King
"Winslow, whose work includes a dozen of the finest crime novels written in the last 20 years, displays all of his strengths, including propulsive narration, compelling characters and a tight, staccato writing style, in 'Broken,' a collection of six remarkable novellas." – Bruce De Silva, Associated Press
No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . .
In six intense short novels connected by the themes of crime, corruption, vengeance, justice, loss, betrayal, guilt and redemption, Broken is #1 international bestseller Don Winslow at his nerve-shattering, heart-stopping, heartbreaking best. In Broken, he creates a world of high-level thieves and low-life crooks, obsessed cops struggling with life on and off the job, private detectives, dope dealers, bounty hunters and fugitives, the lost souls driving without headlights through the dark night on the American criminal highway.
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.

February 24, 2020
The six crime novellas in this disappointing collection from bestseller Winslow (the Cartel trilogy) lack the superior plotting and forceful prose of the author’s best work. The opening of the weak title story suggests that the focus will be on New Orleans 911 dispatcher Eva McNabb, the wife of a tough, abusive ex-cop, and the mother of two current police officers, but it shifts to the two sons. Jimmy McNabb’s disruption of a major meth shipment has tragic unintended consequences that set his family on a path toward bloody revenge in a story that prioritizes action over depth of characterization. Other selections offer nothing particularly new. In “Crime 101,” a dogged police lieutenant pursues a thief targeting jewelry couriers in California; in “The San Diego Zoo,” the one light-hearted entry, a humane cop tries to disarm an escaped chimp that managed to get its hands on a gun without injuring the primate. Readers should be prepared for graphic violence and staccato prose (“Harold’s shotgun is at his hip./It blasts the would-be shooter into the wall./The doors close”). Winslow fans will hope for a return to form next time. Agent: Shane Salerno, Story Factory.

- content: Narrators Kaleo Griffith and Ray Porter perfectly match the noir tone and rhythms of low-life characters who come into the world the same but leave broken. They're hardened men and women who navigate various criminal worlds--usually unsuccessfully. In these six novellas, jewel thieves tell themselves all they need is one more score. Relentless cops chase high-end thieves who are portrayed by Porter with an audible sneer and a stifled laugh. Griffith uses a lighter tone and a more authoritarian delivery, creating sympathy for the lost, broken souls. Winslow continues to prove himself a worthy successor to masters of crime fiction like Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Elmore Leonard. R.O. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
