Not my favorite, but Winslow's writing is always amazing and I love the Neal character. Lots of casual racism used by characters in this one - historically accurate but still jarring.

This was an okay novel. I liked the first one in the series much better. The story here was a little too convoluted. I still like Don Winslow's writing though and may go on to the third one in the series to see if it improves.

Wrote a review, but...
Goodreads' spinning wheel of death.
Reviews are shadows.

I like a lot of Winslow's work but this is my least favorite. Too long and poor pacing.
