His latest is the Danny Ryan trilogy which begins with CITY ON FIRE followed by his latest work, CITY OF DREAMS where we become reacquainted with Mr. The Moretti’s are a case in point as Peter and Paul Moretti, brothers, do their best to make the other look bad.

Facing the serious pressure of looking out for both his young son and his father who’s health is rapidly declining, he must do so while trying to keep a tight lid on his crew, which would be difficult under any circumstances let alone what else he’s dealing with, also making it impossible to grieve the loss he’s recently experienced. Indeed, the novel does double duty as a survival manual, packed full of good advice—for instance, try not to get wounded, for “injury turns you from a giver to a taker. I kept thinking of the movie Goodfellas as I followed Danny and his crew around Providence, Rhode Island. Ryan and his crew spread out and work anonymous jobs, keeping their heads down until they hear that their nemesis, Moretti, has been killed. City of Dreams can be read as a standalone--enough backstory is given to understand the situations the characters face--but I recommend reading City on Fire first, just because it's an excellent read.I am always reading multiple books because I am a quivering ball of ADHD so while I can sink into a book for hours at a time, once I put it down I generally cannot pick it back up for a while.

Danny and his crew head out on the highway with Danny’s little boy as he is now widowed thanks to cancer and his elderly father who is fighting a losing battle with Alzheimer’s.My sincere thanks to William Morrow and Edelweiss for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of City of Dreams! This helps us to become more attuned to Danny and his crew along with the changing of the guard in Providence. In “City on Fire,” the mob war began the moment a bikini-clad goddess named Pam, girlfriend of mobster Paulie Moretti, walked out of the Atlantic onto a Providence-area beach and into the arms of the wrong man, an Irish guy. Leaving behind a trail of corpses, including a corrupt federal agent, Ryan flees to California with the remains of his gang, his 18-month-old son, and his senile alcoholic father.

Does Danny have the resolve to stay the course and avoid unwanted attention in the spotlight that could mean disaster for him and everyone around him, or will the temptation of his new love and lifestyle prove too difficult to let go of for the good of all who rely on his decisions? Don Winslow is the author of nineteen acclaimed, award-winning, international bestsellers – including the No. And if you’re looking forward to what’s still ahead, we rounded up some of the buzziest releases of the summer.These just feel rushed, less sensational and way too many plot lines and characters to hold the story together. Though inflected with occasional reflections on the absurdity of the human condition, “City of Dreams” is no picaresque; instead, as his many fans have come to expect from Winslow, this latest novel in a projected trilogy is unrelentingly tough, tense and violent.
