The Border by Don Winslow

5.0

Though you could read this as a standalone, I'd recommend reading The Power of the Dog and The Cartel first. At 700 pages, there's plenty of story here, and no filler. There is a bit of catch-up explication to start, but once it picks up speed, hold on. There's much to recommend it, from the returning characters, to the cartel which regenerates lost limbs like a starfish. The plot is, unfortunately, altogether too familiar, with a criminal administration in the White House, and a corrupt shadow government fueled by drug money. Another great read from Winslow.
