Ben, Chon, and O are twentysomething best friends living the dream in Southern California. Together they have made a small fortune producing premium grade marijuana, a product so potent that the Mexican Baja Cartel demands a cut. When Ben and Chon refuse to back down, the cartel kidnaps O, igniting a dizzying array of high-octane negotiations and stunning plot twists as they risk everything to free her. The result is a provocative, sexy, and darkly engrossing thrill ride, an ultracontemporary love story that will leave you breathless.

Ratings and reviews

Loved It!! Couldn't stop reading. This is fourth book of Window's that I have read. Great Writer. Knows his stuff about the drug cartels.

First had read "The Kings of Cool" and it was awesome. Now "Savages" takes it up a notch. I'll have to read all of Don Winslow's books, he's amazing!

Great read. Movie did not do it justice
