PERSPECTIVES: Don Winslow

Critics have called Don Winslow's novel THE CARTEL the "Game of Thrones of the Mexican drug war"...and a "south-of-the-border Godfather for our time."  The book follows a DEA agent on a mission to put away the Mexican cartel leader who murdered his partner.  Winslow drew heavily on the real-life violence taking place across our southern border for his acclaimed novel.
