"A flair for language, quick wit, and detail complete a winning first novel."—Library Journal
"Don Winslow's Neal Carey [series is] hands down one of my favorite series and it should be a must-read for every mystery fan. I'm envious of everyone who will have the opportunity to read these books for the first time, and thrilled to revisit them myself."—Jon Jordan, CrimeSpree Magazine
Carey is not your usual private eye. A graduate student at Columbia University, he grew up on the streets of New York, usually on the wrong side of the law. Then he met Joe Graham, a one-armed PI who introduced him to the Bank, an exclusive New England institution with a sideline in keeping its wealthy clients happy and out of trouble. The Bank wants Neal to put his skills to work in finding Allie Chase, the rebellious teenage daughter of a prominent senator, an assignment that takes Neal to London's underground punk scene, a violent netherworld where drugs run rampant and rage is the name of the game.
Don Winslow is the author of twelve novels, including The Power of the Dog, The Dawn Patrol, and Savages (Simon & Schuster, 2010). His novel California Fire and Life received the Shamus Award. The film rights to his novel The Winter of Frankie Machine have been sold, with Robert DeNiro slated to play the lead role.

Recensione:
Winner of the Falcon Award, given by the members of the Maltese Falcon Society of Japan for the best hardboiled novel.
"Don Winslow may be the finest crime writer currently working in America. His recent work -- including but not limited to such titles as The Winter of Frankie Machine, The Dawn Patrol, and California Fire and Life -- is brilliant on every level, displaying a depth, intelligence, and humanity few writers can hope to equal. Amazingly, his thrillers are also whip-fast, compulsively readable, and rich with language so glittery sharp I am left furious with envy. Instead of hating the man, I am his fan. A Cool Breeze on the Underground is the beginning of Winslow’s journey, and shows all the talent and promise of what is to follow. If you’ve not read the Neal Carey books before, send Busted Flush Press a note of thanks. You’re in for a treat." -- Robert Crais, best-selling author of The Sentry
"It’s one thing to see promise in a young writer, but A Cool Breeze on the Underground is just plain unfair. With his premier Neal Carey novel, Don Winslow announced to the world that neither he nor his characters were going to be run-of-the-mill. He continues to prove it with every book he writes." -- Reed Farrel Coleman, three-time Shamus Award-winning author of Innocent Monster
"What a resounding pleasure to read Don Winslow’s splendid first novel again. Even back in 1991 Don seemed to arrive fully formed whip-smart, funny, brave and big-hearted, too. From a beginning like A Cool Breeze on the Underground it’s easy to see how Winslow became one of the premiere writers of crime fiction in our language. I look most forward to seeing all of the Neal Carey stories published by Busted Flush." -- T. Jefferson Parker, best-selling author of Iron River
"A Cool Breeze on the Underground is an amazing first novel that set the course for a terrific career. Reading it now is like going back to pick up a diamond you didn’t see the first time." -- Thomas Perry, best-selling author of The Butcher’s Boy and Strip
"Don Winslow is a cool breeze blowing through the corridors of crime fiction. His first novel rocks on so many levels I lost count -- compelling, layered with fascinating characters, heartbreaking. This book is dark, wicked funny, and brilliantly poignant, all in the same paragraph. A COOL BREEZE ON THE UNDERGROUND will leave you wanting more." -- Harry Hunsicker, Shamus and Thriller Award nominated author of the Lee Henry Oswald series and former Executive Vice President of the Mystery Writers of America
