Didn’t mind this one, but more of the same & predictable, sticks to his formula w/out fail, his last book & seems more focused on getting it over with ( ) “Trust? Trust is children waiting for Santa Claus.” Nearly the beginning 60 pages are a recap of how Danny Ryan made the move to Vegas, ala the Corleone family in the first Godfather. With the same exact goal, going completely legitimate. So just start reading with chapter 10, if you read the previous two books and have seen “The Godfather”. I felt like this book was going to be a snoozer, but by Part 3, the story really hits the lift-off button! “It’s a lesson they’ll learn - castles of sand don’t last.” And, if I’m reading the Acknowledgements accurately, this is the author’s last book. Thank you Don Winslow for the many, many hours of reading enjoyment! “If the sea wants you, she gets you.” It’s incredibly difficult to maintain a great story throughout a series, but City in Ruins wraps up Don Winslow’s Dan Ryan trilogy with all of the elements that made the first two books a success. Book three picks up Danny running a hotel and casino empire in Vegas, but of course his past isn’t too far behind. Winslow also weaves in a few other storylines that keep the pages turning and help wrap things up very neatly. (Don’t worry — he also manages to throw in enough background information to help remember what happened without too much annoying rehash.) If you read the first two books in the series, do not miss City of Ruins; if you haven’t read the Dan Ryan trilogy and you enjoy thrillers — what are you waiting for?

Sometimes you have to become what you hate to protect what you love. Danny Ryan is rich. Beyond his wildest dreams rich. The former dock worker, Irish mob soldier and fugitive from the law is now a respected businessman - a Las Vegas casino mogul and billionaire silent partner in a group that owns two lavish hotels. Finally, Danny has it all: a beautiful house, a child he adores, a woman he might even fall in love with. Life is good. But then Danny reaches too far. When he tries to buy an old hotel on a prime piece of real estate with plans to build his dream resort, he triggers a war against Las Vegas power brokers, a powerful FBI agent bent on revenge and a rival casino owner with dark connections of his own. Danny thought he had buried his past, but now it reaches up to him from the grave to pull him down. Old enemies surface, and when they come for Danny they vow to take everything - not only his empire, not just his life, but all that he holds dear, including his son. To save his life and everything he loves, Danny must become the ruthless fighter he once was - and never wanted to be again. Ranging from the gritty back rooms of Providence, RI to the power corridors of Washington, DC and Wall Street to the golden casinos of Las Vegas, City in Ruins is an epic crime novel of love and hate, ambition and desperation, vengeance and compassion.
