The Border

Don Winslow HarperCollins £20 The Border is the final part of an epic trilogy, dealing with the rise and rise of the Mexican drug cartels. Like its predecessors, The Power Of The Dog and The Cartel, this is relentless, almost overwhelming stuff, with a body count in the thousands. Winslow’s great achievement is to take the unbearable reality and turn it into something much more than simple entertainment.
