“One of America’s greatest storytellers.” – Stephen King
"Winslow, whose work includes a dozen of the finest crime novels written in the last 20 years, displays all of his strengths, including propulsive narration, compelling characters and a tight, staccato writing style, in 'Broken,' a collection of six remarkable novellas." – Bruce De Silva, Associated Press
No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . .
In six intense short novels connected by the themes of crime, corruption, vengeance, justice, loss, betrayal, guilt and redemption, Broken is #1 international bestseller Don Winslow at his nerve-shattering, pulse-pounding, heartbreaking best. In Broken, he creates a world of high-level thieves and low-life crooks, obsessed cops struggling with life on and off the job, private detectives, dope dealers, bounty hunters and fugitives, the lost souls driving without headlights through the dark night on the American criminal highway.
With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that will become classics of crime fiction.
"With the passing of Elmore Leonard a few years back, it’s now safe to proclaim Winslow America’s greatest living crime writer. His consistency is matched only by his creativity, his talent exceeded by his ability to surpass himself time and time again." – Jon Land, Providence Journal
Review
“A master of thrills shows his range, and his bite . . . [Winslow is] a writer from whom others can learn the ropes.”

Janet Maslin, New York Times\n"Winslow, whose work includes a dozen of the finest crime novels written in the last 20 years, displays all of his strengths, including propulsive narration, compelling characters and a tight, staccato writing style, in "Broken," a collection of six remarkable novellas." --
Bruce De Silva, Associated Press\n“This is an outstanding sextet in which – praise be! – ‘love and loyalty trump the law.’ It is fast, furious, and very funny.” --
The Times [London]\n“Don Winslow has made his name with propulsive thrillers about drug lords, corrupt cops, retired hit men, and surfer-outlaws. His brisk, colorful prose and artful shorthand, showcased in 2019’s
The Border, shine in this collection of six novellas.”
--
New York Magazine\n"Recently, lengthy blockbusters such as
The Border have secured [Winslow's] place in the upper echelons of American crime writing. . . . Winslow proves to be as adroit with these forms as with his arm-straining epics . . . . In pared-down Hemingway-esque prose, every one of these pieces is top-drawer Winslow — and they will do nicely until the next hefty tome." --
Financial Times\n“After three epic-scale masterpieces—
The Cartel (2015),
The Force (2017), and
The Border (2019)—Winslow returns with a delicious serving of small plates. . . . A greatest-hits album but with all-new melodies: what could be sweeter?!” --
Booklist [starred review]\n"Fans of the author will eat up these neat, taut, action-packed stories, told in staccato sentences and one-line paragraphs." --
Library Journal\n“Exhibiting a remarkable range, [Winslow is] just as good at sprints as long distances, is as adept at mimicking screwball capers as mobster movies, and can charm as well as chill. . . . A dazzling display of versatility, this set of novellas shows Winslow to be an author who has hit his prime.” --
