Summary
Hot on the heels of the “superb” (Stephen King) New York Times bestseller City on Fire comes the explosive second novel in an epic crime trilogy from #1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow.
*Waterstones Best Book of 2023: Crime and Thriller*
'This is storytelling at its inspiring, epic best, and it feels like a movie in the making.’ Daily Mail
‘As powerful as anything in Winslow’s majestic Cartel trilogy’ Sunday Times
‘Even sharper, funnier, and more brilliant than its predecessor.’ Amazon Best Books of April 2023
‘CITY OF DREAMS is a crime classic. Winslow's best book, by far. You won't put it down’ Stephen King
‘Winslow should not be allowed to write so brilliantly. It’s unfair on all other authors!’ Peter James
"City Of Dreams is a mesmerizing coast-to-coast crime epic." James Patterson
Hollywood.
The city where dreams are made.
On the losing side of a bloody East Coast crime war, Danny Ryan is now on the run. The Mafia, the cops, the FBI all want him dead or in prison. With his little boy, his elderly father and the tattered remnants of his loyal crew of soldiers, he makes the classic American migration to California to start a new life.
A quiet, peaceful existence.
But the Feds track him down and want Danny to do them a favor that could make him a fortune or kill him.
And when Hollywood starts shooting a film of his former life, Danny demands a piece of the action and begins to rebuild his criminal empire.
Then he falls in love.
With a beautiful movie star who has a dark past of her own.
As their worlds collide in an explosion that could destroy them both, Danny Ryan has to fight for his life in a city where dreams are born.
Or where they go to die.
From the shores of Rhode Island to the deserts of California where bodies disappear, from the power corridors of Washington where the real criminals operate to the fabled movie studios of Hollywood where the real money is made, City of Dreams is a sweeping saga of family, love, revenge, survival and the fierce reality behind the dream.

Excellent Sequel
A truly excellent follow up to City on Fire. Winslow writes characters with such defined and detailed personalities and they soar. I really love the performances in the audio version though. Ari Filakos adds so much on his voice work, I’m very eager for the third and final novel.

Disappointing sequel
An underwhelming sequel to City on Fire which is surprisingly boring with a laughable storyline at times. The Hollywood section of the book are so out of place it takes you out of the story. Some of the choices the main character makes are so jarring it irritates. Should have left the first book as a standalone.

Faultless
I was so excited to see this had come out, I first relistened to book one and then went straight onto this.
Utterly absorbing, fantastic pace, brilliant characters and awesomely delivered to boot.
Can't wait until book three and I would love to see more of Don Winslow's back catalogue on UK audible!

Very deep characterisations and good fast paced storyline.
I thoroughly enjoyed this second novel in the series. As always the characters are portrayed with deep insights and you get the feeling that it’s real people you’re listening to. The story is very good and engaging and keeps moving forward. I completely thoroughly enjoyed this listen, as with the previous one I hope Don can keep it up in last book.
