His obsession to defeat the world’s most powerful, wealthy, and lethal kingpin―the godfather of the Sinaloa Cartel, Adán Barrera―has left him bloody and scarred, cost him the people he loves, even taken a piece of his soul.Now Keller is elevated to the highest ranks of the DEA, only to find that in destroying one monster he has created thirty more that are wreaking even more chaos and suffering in his beloved Mexico. But not just there.Barrera’s final legacy is the heroin epidemic scourging America. Throwing himself into the gap to stem the deadly flow, Keller finds himself surrounded by enemies―men who want to kill him, politicians who want to destroy him, and worse, the unimaginable―an incoming administration that’s in bed with the very drug traffickers that Keller is trying to bring down.Art Keller is at war with not only the cartels, but with his own government. And the long fight has taught him more than he ever imagined. Now, he learns the final lesson―there are no borders.In a story that moves from deserts south of the border to Wall Street, from the slums of Guatemala to the marbled corridors of Washington, D.C., Winslow follows a new generation of&nbsp;narcos, the cops who fight them, the street traffickers, the addicts, the politicians, money-launderers,&nbsp;real-estate moguls, and mere children fleeing the violence for the chance of a life in a new country.A shattering tale of vengeance, violence, corruption and justice, this last novel in Don Winslow’s magnificent, award-winning, internationally bestselling trilogy is packed with unforgettable, drawn-from-the-headlines scenes. Shocking in its brutality, raw in its humanity,&nbsp;The Border&nbsp;is an unflinching&nbsp;portrait of modern America, a story of—and for—our time.**Review“A stunning and timely conclusion to Don Winslow’s drug-war trilogy. . . This is a book for dark, rudderless times, an immersion into fear and chaos. . . You don’t read these books; you live in them.” (New York Times)“Mr. Winslow writes gripping action sequences and wields statistics like a crusading journalist. Grand in scope, audacious in its political portraits, convincing in its socio-economic arguments and humane to the core,&nbsp;The Border&nbsp;is not only a formidable thriller but an important and provocative work.” (Wall Street Journal)“I’m totally swept up. You can’t ask for more emotionally moving entertainment. . . Everyone in America—left, right, and center—should read this book. It’s social fiction to rival Tom Wolfe and John Steinbeck. Focused, angry, suspenseful, occasionally hilarious, always hugely entertaining. . . A harsh, important book.” (Stephen King)“These angry, often heartbreaking books stand as the definitive fictional rendering of an ongoing modern tragedy. . .&nbsp;The Borderguides us through a savage, wholly believable world. The result is a powerful—and painful—journey through a contemporary version of hell. Rarely has hell been so compelling.” (Washington Post)“If Dostoevsky slung dope, he might have written the fierce morality tale that Winslow began with&nbsp;The Power of the Dog&nbsp;. . . Truth compacted into narrative by way of meticulous research. . . Eerily prescient and scathing. . . quite simply the most important crime saga in modern literature.” (Arizona Republic)“The Border&nbsp;is intricate, mean and swift, a sprawling canvass of characters. . . Granular detail and sharp dialogue have made his drug war trilogy propulsive and compelling. . . The stories unravel broken lives caught in a mesmerizing mosaic fueled by addiction and haunted by bloodshed.” (Los Angeles Times)“A landmark moment in crime fiction. . . It is Winslow’s remarkable ability to translate the utter fiasco of our 5-year War on Drugs into the most wrenching of human stories, tragedy seemingly without end, that gives this novel its unparalleled power.” (Booklist&nbsp;[starred review])“Peak page-turner. . . Will rattle your soul in those early-morning hours as you come face to face with all the corruption and depravity in the world. . . The crime-fiction equivalent ofThe Stand—the kind of compulsive Stephen King-esque epic that captivates and horrifies.” (Globe &amp; Mail)“The Cartel&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Force&nbsp;were high water marks in the genre in terms of ambition and reach, and Winslow has excelled again. . . . This is Winslow at his sensational best.” (Financial Times)“Don Winslow’s epic trilogy about America’s longest war comes to a powerful and troubling conclusion.” (Associated Press)About the AuthorDon Winslow&nbsp;is the author of nineteen, award-winning, international bestsellers--including the #1 international bestseller&nbsp;The Cartel,&nbsp;The Power of the Dog, Savages&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Winter of Frankie Machine.&nbsp;Savages&nbsp;was made into a critically acclaimed film by three-time Oscar winner Oliver Stone.&nbsp;The Cartel&nbsp;is scheduled to begin production next year by master filmmaker Ridley Scott and 20th Century Fox.
