About the Book

Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Oliver Stone and featuring Blake Lively and John Travolta--the smash hit thriller about two young marijuana dealers who are blackmailed into a partnership with a Mexican cartel.

A breakthrough novel that pits young kingpins against a Mexican drug cartel, Savages is a provocative, sexy, and sharply funny thrill ride through the dark side of the war on drugs and beyond.

Part-time environmentalist and philanthropist Ben and his ex-mercenary buddy Chon run a Laguna Beach-based marijuana operation, reaping significant profits from their loyal clientele. In the past when their turf was challenged, Chon took care of eliminating the threat. But now they may have come up against something that they can't handle--the Mexican Baja Cartel wants in, and sends them the message that a "no" is unacceptable. When they refuse to back down, the cartel escalates its threat, kidnapping Ophelia, the boys' playmate and confidante. O's abduction sets off a dizzying array of ingenious negotiations and gripping plot twists that will captivate readers eager to learn the costs of freedom and the price of one amazing high.

Following "the best summertime crime novel ever" (San Francisco Chronicle on The Dawn Patrol), bestselling author Winslow offers up a smash hit in the making. Savages is an ingenious combination of adrenaline-fueled suspense and true-crime reportage by a master thriller writer at the very top of his game.

Review :
"A revelation . . . This is "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" on autoload." --Stephen King, "Entertainment Weekly" "A spellbinding tour de force that is utterly impossible to put down."--Christopher Reich "A wickedly funny and smart novel." --Janet Evanovich "Stylish . . . Mega-cool . . . Ferocious." --Janet Maslin, "The New York Times" "This is the story of love's costs--and the acceptance of whatever that cost entails." --Randy Michael Signor, "Chicago Sun-Times" "Winslow's marvelous, adrenaline-juiced roller coaster of a novel . . . is both a departure and a culmination, pyrotechnic braggadocio and deep meditation on contemporary American culture." --Sarah Weinman, "Los Angeles Times" ""Savages" is the book of my generation . . . nothing short of revolutionary, a flash grenade into the ineffectual heart of Generation Y. . . . . solidifies Winslow's reputation as not just one of the best crime writers working today, but one of the best writers, period. Jesus Christ, this book." --Brendan Leonard, "January Magazine" ""Savages" is Don Winslow's best book yet--a wickedly funny and smart novel, with a ripped-from-the-headlines story that gets your pulse racing as the action unfolds. Razor-sharp plot twists, a cast of ruthless antiheroes, and of course, Winslow's superb, adrenaline-fueled prose make this scorching, drug-infused thriller an addictive and entertaining read." --Janet Evanovich ""Savages" will jolt Mr. Winslow into a different league...[his] most boisterously stylish crime book, his gutsiest and most startling bid for attention....full of wild-card moves....its wisecracks are so sharp, its characters so mega-cool and its storytelling so ferocious that the risks pay off, thanks especially to Mr. Winslow's no-prisoners sense of humor....The Winslow effect is to fuse the grave and the playful, the body blow and the joke, the nightmare and the pipe dream." --Janet Maslin, "The New York Times" "A revelation . . . Every bit as savage as its title . . . This is "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" on autoload." --Stephen King, "Entertainment Weekly" "A spellbinding, tour de force that is utterly impossible to put down. "Savages" is, bar none, the finest novel I have read in years." --Christopher Reich "An ultra-lean, stoner thriller....It packs a dynamic plot, sentences dripping with baditude'' and a singular way with language....Winslow's writing has the vigor of action painting....[his] command of vernacular is fabulous, his eye for detail sharp....Winslow's insights into drug wars are provocative, his descriptions of marijuana tantalizing." --Carlo Wolff, "The Boston Globe" "The stakes are extreme. . . . This is the story of love's costs--and the acceptance of whatever that cost entails." --Randy Michael Signor, "Chicago Sun Times" "Winslow is a brilliant stylist, unflinching in detail, and his books jab a fountain pen in the eye of anyone who can read one of his tomes and state with conviction that crime fiction isn't literature." --Jason Pinter, The Huffington Post
