Publisher's Summary All Denny Malone wants is to be a good cop. He’s the king of Manhattan North, a highly decorated NYPD detective sergeant and the real leader of “Da Force.” Malone and his crew are the smartest, the toughest, the quickest, the bravest, and the baddest, an elite unit given unrestricted authority to wage war on gangs, drugs, and guns. Every day and every night for the eighteen years he’s spent on the Job, Malone has served on the front lines, witnessing the hurt, the dead, the victims, the perps. He’s done whatever it takes to serve and protect in a city built by ambition and corruption, where no one is clean—including Malone himself. What only a few know is that Denny Malone is dirty: he and his partners have stolen millions of dollars in drugs and cash in the wake of the biggest heroin bust in the city’s history. Now Malone is caught in a trap and being squeezed by the feds, and he must walk the thin line between betraying his brothers and partners, the Job, his family, and the woman he loves, trying to survive, body and soul, while the city teeters on the brink of a racial conflagration that could destroy them all. The Force is a haunting story of greed and violence, inequality and race, crime and injustice, retribution and redemption that reveals the seemingly insurmountable tensions between the police and the diverse citizens they serve. A searing portrait of a city and a courageous, heroic, and deeply flawed man who stands at the edge of its abyss, it is a masterpiece of urban realism full of shocking twists, leavened by flashes of dark humor, a morally complex and utterly riveting dissection of modern American society and the controversial issues confronting us today. ©2017 Don Winslow (P)2016 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

I stopped listening about 1:13 in. The performance was over the top dramatic.The characters were hackneyed stereotypes.Also the authorsanti-gun bias is clearly evident.Not at all subtle.
Love the gritty way Winslow writes Cartel and it's partner book on Mexican drug violence were insane and this fits in that vein just nail biting edge of your pants writing that fully immerses you until it spits you out on the last page dazed, confused, and thoroughly fulfilled.
Where does The Force rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Top 5 for sure, and there are other Don Winslow audiobooks in that list.What did you like best about this story?Unlike most books, the story stays fully focused on the main character.It's old school, like a 1930s noir, and it works so well.What about Dion Graham’s performance did you like?Perfectly captures the tired cynicism of a city cop.Any additional comments?If you've ever read a Don Winslow book, this ranks among his best.If you haven't, here's the clue: it's one of the better books you'll ever read.
Been a Winslow fan for a while but this one you just can't stop listening to, amazing narration, great story, laugh out loud at times/ cringe in pc sensitivity at times. Of the last 100+ I've listened to this is at the top.
