This is the riveting finale (after
City of Dreams) to the Danny Ryan saga penned by the superb Don Winslow, who has stated that this will be his final novel. The pursuit of the American Dream has evolved throughout the narrative of Danny Ryan but is best encapsulated in the culmination. A bloody gang war led to Danny Ryan’s flight from Rhode Island in the mid-1980s. Nearly a decade removed from the carnage on the streets of Providence, Ryan is now living in Las Vegas. In the desert mecca, Ryan has remade himself as a high-level executive running a profitable casino. The one-time knock-around guy has become legitimate and yearns to put the past in his rearview mirror. Despite appearances of legitimacy, there is a rogue government agent intent on bringing Ryan down. Soon, Ryan’s friendly rivalry with a fellow casino owner becomes contentious. A war for Sin City is about to be waged both in the boardrooms and outside the city limits. Ryan must defend himself, his family, and his friends from threats near and far.
VERDICT If this is truly Winslow’s valediction, one couldn’t ask for anything more fitting and rewarding.
