The Cartel

The Cartel by Don Winslow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first read of Don Winslow and it will not be my last. Really enjoyed his tight and concise style of writing. While I got a bit lost at times trying to keep the many characters straight, eventually it all came together in a way that made for a very satisfying ending. Looking forward to checking out more by the author.
