NEW YORK (AP) — Don Winslow, embarking on what he calls his final book tour, had a feeling he might not keep it together “It’s a little bit of a bittersweet evening for me,” he said Monday, speaking before some 40 admirers at The Mysterious Bookshop in downtown Manhattan, one of the city’s last stores dedicated entirely to crime narratives.
Winslow's novel describes three decades of the United States' war on drugs by following several main characters: The DEA agent Art Keller; Adán Barrera, who controls large parts of the drug trade from Mexico to the United States of America; the sex worker Nora Hayden; and Sean Callan, a gangster from the streets of New York.
