Thriller
Once you're in, you can't back out: You just have to keep
going deeper and deeper. With his latest thriller, Don
Winslow demonstrates yet again why he's considered the
successor to legends like Raymond Chandler and Elmore
Leonard: Locking a cast of captivating characters into a
conflict from which there's no escape, SAVAGES, will ensnare
you until the last page, through every gorgeously brutal,
dark and witty twist. Ben and Chon have it pretty good. No - better than pretty
good. They have it great. Thanks to Ben's entrepreneurial
genius and Chon's Navy SEAL training, they run the
number-one marijuana operation in Southern California,
growing and selling the best weed on the planet. (Their
dealers even get health care.) Through careful management of
the business, they've made millions, leaving them free to
smoke up and play volleyball and consort with their friend
and playmate O (short for Ophelia) - at least, whenever Ben
isn't off in some third-world country, trying to make Earth
a better place. Then an email arrives: a video showing nine decapitated men.
It's a message from the Baja Cartel, a Mexican crime
syndicate that wants to take over Ben and Chon's operation.
The cartel is not interested in negotiating; their offer is
unilateral and quite simple: Ben and Chon can continue to
sell their product to their established clientele and give
the lion's share of profits to the cartel - or they can star
in a video of their own. (They're Walmart," O observes.) Chon, who knows something about killing - he's done tours
with the military and mercenary organizations in Afghanistan
and Iraq, and knows from his own dad's involvement with
Latin drug cartels what they can be like - wants to strike
back. These people are savages, he tells Ben, and they'll
interpret anything else as weakness. Peaceful philanthropist
Ben, though, doesn't want to fight, especially when he knows
they can't win. Instead, he tells the cartel they're closing
up shop and makes plans to leave the country for a few years
with Chon and O.
