Två kriminella imperier har tillsammans makten över New Englands undre värld - irländska Murphys och italienska Morettis. Tills en nutida Sköna Helena dyker upp och hamnar mitt emellan dem. Kriget som bryter ut kommer att kräva liv, krossa allianser och sätta staden i brand. Danny Ryan drömmer om ett "vanligt", hederligt liv, och när den uppblossande konflikten blir allt blodigare inser han att han måste göra något för att skydda sina vänner och sin familj. Han måste kliva fram och bli en ledare, en hänsynslös strateg, och göra allt för att ta kontrollen över detta spel på liv och död. Han måste bygga upp en ny dynasti som sträcker sig ända från Providences dammiga gator till Hollywoods glitter och Las Vegas gyllene kasinon. Stad i brand är första delen i en trilogi där Don Winslow återvänder till den plats där han växte upp - en modern Iliaden, en släktsaga som spänner över flera generationer, med klassiska teman som ära, svek och lojalitet.“Winslow handskas så effektivt och övertygande med sitt material att det här blir en berättelse som verkligen sticker ut. Språket är storslaget sparsmakat, allt flyter på, utan att för den skull tappa i djup. Inga falska toner eller trötta schabloner anas i de psykologiska gestaltningarna. Spänningen lurar hela tiden under ytan. Det är filmiskt gjort, ja nog borde det kunna göras en ny typ av Gudfadern av denna bok.” Kenneth Carlsson, BTJ-häftet“En glödhet, svidande roman full av ilska.” Kirkus Review"En av de främsta amerikanska berättarna." Stephen King"USA:s största nu levande krimförfattare." Providence Journal"Det här är Winslow när han är som bäst." Karin Slaughter“Winslow lyckas ringa in allt som är dåligt i det amerikanska samhället. Ett USA där de sjysta snubbarna är de som råkar mest illa ut … Stilen är hårdkokt, språket knivskarpt. Det är en ren fröjd att läsa.” Katrine Hamouri, BTJ-Häftet om SpillrorDon Winslow har skrivit 21 hyllade, prisbelönta och bästsäljande böcker, bland annat Styrkan och Muren, men också kultförklarade The cartel, The power of the dog, Savages och The winter of Frankie Machine. Savages har filmatiserats av den Oscarbelönade manusförfattaren och regissören Oliver Stone, och rättigheterna till Muren, The cartel och The power of the dog har sålts till tv-bolaget FX för ett mångmiljonbelopp. Även Styrkan är snart aktuell som spelfilm. Don Winslow har tidigare jobbat som privatutredare, antiterrorutbildare och rättegångskonsult, och bor i dag i Kalifornien och Rhode Island.

Med romaner som Muren, Styrkan och The Cartel har Don Winslow tagit plats som en av världens främsta skildrare av den undre världen. Spillror är en samling med sex noveller som utspelar sig i samma miljöer och kretsar kring samma människor. Här möter vi kriminella på samhällets botten - och toppnivåer - kämpande poliser som vigt sitt liv åt jobbet, privatutredare, knarklangare, flyktingar och de förlorade själar som utan strålkastare navigerar genom nattens mörker längs USA:s kriminella motorvägar. Allt skildrat med Don Winslows karakteristiska insikt, tempo, humor, medkänsla och glimrande skarpa prosa." En av vår tids mest kraftfulla författare." Jens Lapidus "Winslow är en mästare." Michael Connelly "Tempot är högt och trots det kompakta novellformatet lyckas Winslow ringa in allt som är dåligt i det amerikanska samhället. Ett USA där de sjysta snubbarna är de som råkar mest illa ut. Stilen är hårdkokt, språket knivskarpt. Det är en ren fröjd att läsa, och Anders Nunstedts översättning är följsam. Spillror är en novellsamling för den som uppskattar humor, känsla och gravallvarligt våld." Katrine Hamori, BTJ "Winsloweffekten: att smälta samman det gravallvarliga och det lekfulla, det fysiska våldet och skämten, mardrömmarna och dagdrömmarna. Det är respektlöst och samtidigt på blodigt allvar." New York Times om MurenDon Winslow är född i New York och bor i Kalifornien. Han har jobbat som journalist och privatutredare och skrivit ett 20-tal romaner som givits ut i ännu fler länder. Den senaste, Muren, som kom på svenska 2019, har hyllats av både kritiker och läsare och fått enorm uppmärksamhet världen över. Romanen Savages (2010) filmatiserades av Oliver Stone och 2018 köpte Ridley Scott (Thelma & Louise, Gladiator) rättigheterna till att filmatisera polisromanen Styrkan (2018).

Includes "Crime 101," "Broken," and "The Last Ride" - all soon to be major motion pictures "One of America's greatest storytellers." - Stephen King"Winslow, whose work includes a dozen of the finest crime novels written in the last 20 years, displays all of his strengths, including propulsive narration, compelling characters and a tight, staccato writing style, in 'Broken, ' a collection of six remarkable novellas." - Bruce De Silva, Associated PressNo matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . . In six intense short novels connected by the themes of crime, corruption, vengeance, justice, loss, betrayal, guilt and redemption, Broken is #1 international bestseller Don Winslow at his nerve-shattering, pulse-pounding, heartbreaking best. In Broken, he creates a world of high-level thieves and low-life crooks, obsessed cops struggling with life on and off the job, private detectives, dope dealers, bounty hunters and fugitives, the lost souls driving without headlights through the dark night on the American criminal highway. With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that will become classics of crime fiction." With the passing of Elmore Leonard a few years back, it's now safe to proclaim Winslow America's greatest living crime writer. His consistency is matched only by his creativity, his talent exceeded by his ability to surpass himself time and time again." - Jon Land, Providence Journal
