"City in Ruins is Don Winslow showing the rest of us how it's done. Nobody does it better. The novel builds and builds, the drama, the suspense, our feelings for the central characters-and then everything comes together. Actually, everything explodes. It's a beautiful, artful thing. Winslow has saved the best for last." - James Patterson
"The final shattering installment in a gangland trilogy to equal The Godfather. If you like Scarface and Goodfellas, this is where it's at." - Stephen King
"With City in Ruins, Winslow wraps up a spectacular crime fiction trilogy: a sweeping story that morphs and expands over time." - Washington Post

- Wall Street Journal
"City in Ruins is filled with fist-clenching drama, incredible action, and riveting twists that'll have any reader sweating in-between page turns. Is this actually Don Winslow's final novel, as advertised? We, of course, hope not. But if it is, Winslow goes out with a tremendous, deafening bang." - The TODAY Show
"Bolstered by careful plotting and meticulous attention to character, Winslow's ambitious narrative culminates with an exhilarating climax that beautifully wraps up the series' many plot threads. It's a fitting swan song from a giant of crime fiction." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"If this really is Winslow's final novel, as he's said it will be, then he's going out on a high note. The follow-up to City on Fire (2021) and City of Dreams (2023) showcases everything that makes Winslow a spectacular writer: brilliantly realized characters, dialogue that rings true, and a story that explores the darkness that exists within each of us." - Booklist
"[A] riveting finale. . . . If this is truly Winslow's valediction, one couldn't ask for anything more fitting and rewarding." - Library Journal
"[A] dramatic conclusion. . . If you love good crime writing but aren't familiar with Winslow's work, read this trilogy in order." - Kirkus Reviews

- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Don Winslow adds one last masterful flourish to his distinguished career."

"City in Ruins is a worthy finale to Don Winslow's epic Danny Ryan series - and the career of this equally epic crime-fiction writer. . . . Winslow's minimalist but effective, highly charged prose moves the saga along at an urgent clip. All this, and the way moral dilemmas and the many uses of violence are passed from one generation to the next, elevate the Danny Ryan trilogy to the highest circle of mobster myth." - Air Mail

"Don Winslow is one of three living crime writers that I am hopelessly addicted to. City of Dreams is a mesmerizing coast-to-coast crime epic.

'This last instalment of Winslow's magnificent trilogy about the life and struggles of Irish mobster Danny Ryan from Rhode Island brings his story to a juddering, unforgettable conclusion ... If this truly is his last hurrah, it is a fitting tribute to his exceptional skill and talent.' Daily Mail
'This slick tale of turf wars, revenge and ghosts from the past is the final book in the superb Ryan and up there with Winslow's brilliant Cartel books' The Sun, PICK OF THE WEEK

Other senior crime writers will be cursing him because they will have to match this standard when they take their final bows.' The Times, Pick of the Month & Best Thriller of 2024
