“She's going to be trouble. Women that beautiful usually are.”
This book was given to me after being confused for a different ‘City on Fire’. After the line above was repeated multiple times in the first few pages, I was ready to write it off.
I had to double back about 60 pages in and take note of the dozens of character names that had been introduced. It was Pat, Pam, Pasco, Paul and Peter that gave me the most trouble.
It ended up hooking me in. I think I’d go back for the sequel.

Don Winslow does a really good job of painting the small but dark criminal world in Dogtown. This book takes us on Danny’s journey from soldier to reluctant boss of the family.
The characters are well crafted and this first chapter of the trilogy is a great introduction to firms, the relationships between them and shows us the length some can go to defend their egos and families.
The writing style Don Winslow uses is gripping and makes for a page turner.
I really enjoyed this book and after not having reading a book In the genre for a while it was a good way to come back to it and a reminder of why I enjoy a crime fiction novel. I highly recommend
