Synopsis "The Final Score"

'The best crime fiction I've read in twenty years. You'd think Winslow was mobbed up - it's that good.' Stephen King#1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow - America's King of Crime Fiction - is back and he's better than ever in this intense, deeply felt, gripping collection of six all-new, never-before-published short novels.

''The best crime fiction I’ve read in twenty years. You’d think Winslow was mobbed up – it’s that good.'' Stephen King#1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow – America’s King of Crime Fiction – is back and he’s better than ever in this intense, deeply felt, gripping collection of six all-new, never-before-published short novels. In six all-new short novels written with the trademark literary style, trenchant wit, and incisive characterization that have made Don Winslow “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Providence Journal), this repeat New York Times bestselling author serves up a collection of tales sure to delight Winslow’s most devoted fans and first-time readers.The multi-million-dollar casino heist is impossible—it can’t be done. That’s what makes it irresistible to a legendary robber facing the rest of his life in prison for his “Final Score.” An ambitious, hard-working college-bound teenager has a side job delivering illegal booze to “The Sunday List” until a crooked cop, a seductive customer, and a fake guru threaten to end his dreams. Two wise guys tell each other a “True Story” over breakfast at a diner. It’s all bullshit and laughs until someone else has to pick up the check. An otherwise honest patrolman has to make an excruciating choice between his loyalty to the job and his love for a ne’er-do-well cousin in “The North Wing.” The entitled, substance-addicted movie star that surfer/PI Boone Daniels and his crew are hired to babysit in “The Lunch Break” is a problem. She also has a problem—someone wants her dead. Finally, the one terrible, momentary mistake that a devoted family man makes sends him to prison and on a “Collision” course between the man he wants to be and the killer he’s forced to become to survive.With a foreword written by award-winning crime author Reed Farrel Coleman, The Final Score is a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive collection of crime writing — the ultimate testament to Don Winslow''s prowess as a living legend of the genre.

Don Winslow nació en 1953 en Nueva York, Estados Unidos, y creció en Rhode Island. Desde joven mostró interés por la lectura, influenciado por su madre, que era bibliotecaria. Su vida profesional fue diversa: trabajó como investigador privado, guía de safaris en África, director de cine y consultor legal, experiencias que luego alimentarían su narrativa.

Se dio a conocer como escritor con novelas de crimen y suspenso, aunque fue con su trilogía sobre el narcotráfico —compuesta por El poder del perro, El cártel y La frontera— que alcanzó reconocimiento internacional. En estas obras explora con crudeza y realismo la violencia, la corrupción política y el impacto social del crimen organizado, especialmente en la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos.

Además de escritor, Winslow ha sido un crítico abierto del sistema político y judicial estadounidense. En los últimos años, ha declarado que dejará de escribir ficción para enfocarse en el activismo político. Su estilo narrativo es directo, cinematográfico y cargado de tensión, lo que ha llevado a que varias de sus novelas sean adaptadas al cine y la televisión. Considerado uno de los grandes narradores del crimen contemporáneo, su obra sigue siendo influyente y provocadora.
