Acerca de este libro electrónico
Hollywood.
La ciudad donde los sueños se hacen realidad.
Ahora que su bando está perdiendo la sangrienta guerra criminal en la Costa Este, Danny Ryan se da a la fuga. La mafia, la policía y el FBI lo quieren muerto o en prisión. Emprende la clásica migración estadounidense a California —con su hijo pequeño, su viejo padre y el cansado séquito que le queda— para empezar una nueva vida.
Una existencia tranquila y pacífica.
Pero los federales lo localizan y quieren que les haga un favor que podría procurarle una fortuna o costarle la vida.
Y cuando Hollywood comienza a filmar una película basada en su vida pasada, Danny pide formar parte de la acción y comienza a reconstruir su imperio criminal.
Entonces, se enamora.
De una hermosa actriz que también tiene un pasado oscuro.
Mientras sus mundos colisionan en una explosión que podría destruirlos, Danny Ryan tiene que luchar por su vida en una ciudad donde los sueños nacen.
O donde van a morir.
Desde las costas de Rhode Island a los desiertos de California, donde los cuerpos desaparecen; desde los corredores de poder de Washington, donde los criminales verdaderos manejan a los inventados en las películas de Hollywood, de donde sale el dinero real, Ciudad de sueños es una impactante saga familiar, de amor, venganza, supervivencia y sobre la dura realidad detrás del sueño.
Following the epic, ambitious, instant New York Times bestseller City on Fire, “The Godfather for our generation” (Adrian McKinty), comes the dramatic second novel in an epic crime trilogy from Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling author of the Cartel trilogy (The Power of the Dog, The Cartel and The Border).
Hollywood.
The city where dreams are made.
On the losing side of a bloody East Coast crime war, Danny Ryan is now on the run. The Mafia, the cops, the FBI all want him dead or in prison. With his little boy, his elderly father and the tattered remnants of his loyal crew of soldiers, he makes the classic American migration to California to start a new life.
A quiet, peaceful existence.
But the Feds track him down and want Danny to do them a favor that could make him a fortune or kill him.
And when Hollywood starts shooting a film based on his former life, Danny demands a piece of the action and begins to rebuild his criminal empire.
Then he falls in love.
With a beautiful movie star who has a dark past of her own.
As their worlds collide in an explosion that could destroy them both, Danny Ryan has to fight for his life in a city where dreams are born.
Or where they go to die.
From the shores of Rhode Island to the deserts of California where bodies disappear, from the power corridors of Washington where the real criminals operate to the fabled movie studios of Hollywood where the real money is made, City of Dreams is a sweeping saga of family, love, revenge, survival and the fierce reality behind the dream.
