DON WINSLOW

One of the more compelling thriller authors to come along in recent years, Don Winslow makes a welcome Elliott Bay return to read from and sign copies of his newest, Savages (Simon & Schuster). "Spare, clipped expository prose and hip, spot-on dialogue propel this visceral crime novel from Winslow. The future is looking good for Laguna Beach, California marijuana growers Ben and Chon, until they receive an ominous e-mail from the Baja Cartel ... Ben and Chon propose a trade that [dealer] Elena can't refuse, setting the stage for the violent and utterly satisfying ending. Winslow's encyclopedic knowledge of the border drug trade lends authenticity." - Publishers Weekly. "Edgar nominee and Shamus winner Winslow, who first evoked the violent world of the Mexican drug cartels in the best-selling narco-thriller Power of the Dog, dispenses short chapters that drive his plot breathlessly forward. He also has plenty of savage wit ... Riddled with bullets and splattered with blood, Savages is not for the squeamish, but it's a must for Winslow fans." - Allison Block, Booklist.
