"The Force is mesmerizing, a triumph. Think The Godfather, only with cops. It's that good."
- Stephen King

The acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling author of The Cartel-voted one of the Best Books of the Year by more than sixty publications, including the New York Times-makes his William Morrow debut with a cinematic epic as explosive, powerful, and unforgettable as Mystic River and The Wire.

Our ends know our beginnings, but the reverse isn't true . . .

All Denny Malone wants is to be a good cop.

He is "the King of Manhattan North," a, highly decorated NYPD detective sergeant and the real leader of "Da Force." Malone and his crew are the smartest, the toughest, the quickest, the bravest, and the baddest, an elite special unit given unrestricted authority to wage war on gangs, drugs and guns. Every day and every night for the eighteen years he's spent on the Job, Malone has served on the front lines, witnessing the hurt, the dead, the victims, the perps. He's done whatever it takes to serve and protect in a city built by ambition and corruption, where no one is clean-including Malone himself.

What only a few know is that Denny Malone is dirty: he and his partners have stolen millions of dollars in drugs and cash in the wake of the biggest heroin bust in the city's history. Now Malone is caught in a trap and being squeezed by the Feds, and he must walk the thin line between betraying his brothers and partners, the Job, his family, and the woman he loves, trying to survive, body and soul, while the city teeters on the brink of a racial conflagration that could destroy them all.

Based on years of research inside the NYPD, this is the great cop novel of our time and a book only Don Winslow could write: a haunting and heartbreaking story of greed and violence, inequality and race, crime and injustice, retribution and redemption that reveals the seemingly insurmountable tensions between the police and the diverse citizens they serve. A searing portrait of a city and a courageous, heroic, and deeply flawed man who stands at the edge of its abyss, The Force is a masterpiece of urban living full of shocking and surprising twists, leavened by flashes of dark humor, a morally complex and utterly riveting dissection of modern American society and the controversial issues confronting and dividing us today.

Rezensionen
"Don Winslow delivers his longest and finest novel yet in THE CARTEL. This is the War and Peace of dopewar books. Tense, brutal, wildly atmospheric, stunningly plotted, deeply etched." James Ellroy on The Cartel
Praise for The Force:

'This stands out by a mile ... fresher, faster, funnier and truer ... bursting with life, lousy with death, it is because it tells the truth, in all its ugliness, that this novel is so exhilarating' Daily Telegraph

'Hard-hitting ... one of the great works of fiction about the police ... superbly chronicled' The Times

'There won't be a better cop novel this year than The Force by Don Winslow. Not next year, or the year after that, either' Linwood Barclay

'Stephen King, James Ellroy and Lee Child see Don Winslow as one of their number, and he confirms his right to belong in this elite with The Force ... a panoramic picture of a criminal justice system permeated by corruption, cronyism and lies' Sunday Times, Thriller of the Month

'Sprawling and visceral' Financial Times, Crime Books of the Year

'Breathtaking. Think of TV series The Sopranos ... told in majestic prose ... this is without question among the finest ever police novels' Daily Mail, Books of the Year

'A brutal, gut-punching story' Independent, Books of the Year

'Almost Shakespearean' Spectator, Books of the Year

'Shocking and shockingly convincing ... sinewy, flexible, raw and full of wit. This novel is as entertaining as the best crime fiction must be, but it is also moving' TLS

'Don Winslow's magnificent novels have positioned him as the next big-hitter of crime writing ... Gripping' Metro

'Intensely human in its tragic details, positively Shakespearian in its epic sweep - probably the best cop novel ever written' Lee Child

'Mesmerizing, a triumph. Think The Godfather, only with cops. It's that good' Stephen King

'Nobody understands the disaster of corruption better than Don Winslow. The Force exposes the dawning horror of how it eats into the best intentions' Val McDermid, No.1 bestselling author of Out of Bounds

'A stunner of a cop novel with dialogue, gritty New York setting and moral pincers all in the service of a devastating plot' New York Times, Crime Books of the Year
