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.

Bittersweet! I‘m so excited for today‘s book mail of Don Winslow‘s latest book, City in Ruins. I‘m also sad that Don is retiring from writing. City in Ruins is his final book and the third installment in the Danny Ryan trilogy. I received my signed copy of City in Ruins from The Poisoned Pen, an independent bookseller, in Scottsdale, Arizona. They included a collectible set of three poker chips representing each book title in the trilogy. 🌵

Amiable Love Don Winslow! I saw him a year or so ago at an author event in Rhode Island when he was on tour for the second book of this trilogy. He‘s a great speaker. I too will miss his books. 8mo
NatalieR @Amiable Wow! That‘s amazing you got to see him on tour!! 🤩 8mo
Amiable @NatalieR He grew up in Rhode Island and now owns a vacation home there, I think. In any case, he comes to visit every year. So one of the independent bookstores coordinated an event at a local theater where he spoke about his books and also about his advocacy efforts and next steps now that he‘s retired from writing. I‘m lucky to live only about 30 minutes away and was able to snap up tickets! 8mo
NatalieR @Amiable Thanks for sharing your experience. You are very lucky! I‘m happy you got to see him. I‘ve heard his events and stories are great! 8mo
