Winslow has written a near-perfect saga: He’s created great characters who grow and develop while remaining true to their essence, and a sweeping story that morphs and expands over time, with the stakes escalating until they reach nosebleed heights at the end.
Can be read as a standalone, [but] readers would be best served by reading the trilogy from the beginning. With his compelling characters, his vivid prose, and his exploration of universal themes, Winslow has produced a masterpiece of modern crime fiction.
Clearing the veneer of civility to reveal his characters’ animal instincts, Winslow concludes his remarkable literary career with an exciting thrill ride for readers.
