I can't put it down! The 2nd in Best-Selling author #DonWinslow's trilogy, "City of Dreams" grabs you from the first page and the dedication is particularly poignant! Thank for this advance copy Don, great read. Can't wait for "City on Fire" the first in the trilogy, your new film starring Austin Butler coming soon!

What a dense idiot. The only reason the cartels and the incredible suffering and violence that they inflict on the Mexican people is the USAs insatiable appetite for drugs. It is an insanely profitable business for the cartels keeping North American nostrils packed full of cocaine etc.

The only way to deprive the cartels of business is to de-criminalise drugs and put the supply under government control. The drugs would be imported and distributed via government outlets who would also provide medical support and counselling to addicts who would probably be keen to cut back on or eliminate their dependency. Everyone wants to live a happy life.

If you want a good background on just how evil the cartel problem is in Mexico read Don Winslow’s Border Trilogy. Based on reality the books are horribly powerful.

Mind you MTG would not read them; there’s lots of big words and long paragraphs ’n stuff.

Vanaf 18 april: Crimineel Danny Ryan gaat voor de FBI aan de slag en tegelijkertijd wordt er een film over zijn (vorige) leven gemaakt... #pimvanofferen #donwinslow #hollywood

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Don Winslow is terug met een nieuw boek en als je The Force kent, weet je genoeg. #pimvanofferen #donwinslow #cityonfire
