“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 Press)

No 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 number-one international best seller Don Winslow at his nerve-shattering, heart-stopping, 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.

A great collection of 6 novellas by one of my favorite authors. Trigger warning, there is some not-so-subtle political commentary woven into several of the stories (especially The Last Ride). I loved the appearance of many of Mr. Winslow's characters from previous books showed up in these stories. Ray Porter's narration was fantastic; he rates 5+ stars. Theother narrator was fine, but I wish Ray Porter had read the entire collection. If you are a Winslow fan, this is a must read.

Five stars !

It's almost hard to believe Winslow can be so consistently good, book after book, but here it is.Tight, compelling crime fiction. Griffith and Porter do a great job too. Highly recommended.

Terrific

Ok so the first story was a bit hard to take but it is honest. 'Spose nobody ever said all honestly was pleasant. Following stories draw on depth rarely seen. Think Hemmingway or Saint-Exupéry. Listen and enjoy.

Seriously excellent writing

I'm a big Don Winslow fan and think he's one of the top contemporary crime fiction writers. This collection of short stories is not as strong as his full length novels, but I still found it to be entertaining. All the classic elements are there, tough cops, clever criminals, California surf noir, but its not quite as electric as some of his real masterworks like The Force. Still, it's a good pick up if you're looking for some fun but hard hitting noir crime reading. You won't be blown away by this collection, but I don't think you'll be disappointed either.

Good b-sides from a crime writing master

His style of characters is what keeps me interested in these Novels. Having multiple stories in this one was Amazing. I was laughing, and in shock when hearing the Paradise episode. Talk about burying the lead. Hollywood needs to adapt all of his novels into blockbuster movies. Big money-making tales.

loved catching up with Winslow's world
