GoodReads Reviews
The Winter of Frankie Machine
by Don Winslow
Request this book
Staff Review: Retired mob hitter Frankie Machianno is out of the game. Living in San Diego, he stays busy running his legit businesses, including a fishbait shack. But just when he thinks he's out, he's pulled back in! A mob boss calls in a chip, and it's one last job for the Machine. Some predictable plot turns, but Frankie is such a likable goon it hardly matters. Winslow's latest novel, "Savages", comes to a theater near you this summer. I wish it was this book instead. - Stephen K.
