The explosive, highly anticipated conclusion to the epic Cartel
trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Force
What do you do when there are no borders? When the lines you thought
existed simply vanish? How do you plant your feet to make a stand when
you no longer know what side you're on?
The war has come home.
For over forty years, Art Keller has been on the front lines of
America's longest conflict: The War on Drugs. His obsession to defeat
the world's most powerful, wealthy, and lethal kingpin?the godfather of
the Sinaloa Cartel, Adán Barrera?has left him bloody and scarred, cost
him the people he loves, even taken a piece of his soul.
Now Keller is elevated to the highest ranks of the DEA, only to find
that in destroying one monster he has created thirty more that are
wreaking even more chaos and suffering in his beloved Mexico. But not
just there.
Barrera's final legacy is the heroin epidemic scourging America.
Throwing himself into the gap to stem the deadly flow, Keller finds
himself surrounded by enemies?men who want to kill him, politicians who
want to destroy him, and worse, the unimaginable?an incoming
administration that's in bed with the very drug traffickers that Keller
is trying to bring down.
Art Keller is at war with not only the cartels, but with his own
government. And the long fight has taught him more than he ever
imagined. Now, he learns the final lesson?there are no borders.
In a story that moves from deserts of Mexico to Wall Street, from the
slums of Guatemala to the marbled corridors of Washington, D.C., Winslow
follows a new generation of narcos, the cops who fight them, street
traffickers, addicts, politicians, money-launderers, real-estate moguls,
and mere children fleeing the violence for the chance of a life in a new
country.
A shattering tale of vengeance, violence, corruption and justice, this
last novel in Don Winslow's magnificent, award-winning, internationally
bestselling trilogy is packed with unforgettable,
drawn-from-the-headlines scenes. Shocking in its brutality, raw in its
humanity, The Border is an unflinching portrait of modern America, a
story of--and for--our time.
