Frank Machianno is the guy, a late-middle-aged ex-surf bum who runs a bait shack on the San Diego waterfront. That's when he's not juggling any of his other three part-time jobs or trying to get a quick set in on his long board. He's a beloved fixture of the community, a stand-up businessman, a devoted father to his daughter. Frank's also a hit man. Well, a retired hit man. Back in the day, when he was one of the most feared members of the West Coast mob, he was known as Frankie Machine. Years ago, Frank consigned his mob ties to the past, which is where he wants them to stay. But a favor called in by the local boss is one Frank simply can't refuse, and before he knows it, he's sucked back into the treacherous currents of his former life. Someone from his past wants him dead, and he has to figure out who, and why, and he has to do it fast. The problem is that the list of candidates is about the size of his local phone book and Frank's rapidly running out of time...

Review:
'Action sequences that put your heart into your mouth ... Vegas nights, floating orgies, shakedowns and shootings galore all feature in this superb novel ... The ending will blow you away.' -- Evening Standard

'It was hard to see how Winslow could top his excellent 2006 novel The Power of the Dog, but he's done it ... Masterful.' -- The Guardian

'This is something special ... Winslow's skill is dazzling and his intricate plotting and brilliantly drawn characters make this a tour de force.' -- Daily Telegraph

'Winslow is a sensational writer ... Won't disappoint under any circumstances.' -- Independent on Sunday

`At a time when many successful crime and thriller writers produce a book a year, Don Winslow stands out. He is one of the best, and he takes his time .... The Winter of Frankie Machine is a highly artful novel ... Winslow's writing is deceptively simple, and even though the narrative is told in the third person, Frank's thoughtful but uneducated voice comes through irresistibly. This is one of the most enjoyable thrillers of the year.'
-- Times Literary Supplement
From the Publisher:
The stunning new novel by the acclaimed author of The Power of the Dog ('so good you want to keep him to yourself' Ian Rankin), bought for the movies by Robert de Niro, who plans to play Frankie himself.
