A rough week. Some stuff is going to come out about how people tried to shut me and my book down. Had to cancel my tour and public appearances due to vicious threats. I hope you will order The Final Score today: Amazon: amzn.to/4kgJpFk B&N: bit.ly/3EQLA2x

Let’s be clear: Don Winslow didn’t cancel his book tour because of low ticket sales, like Melania trump's disaster movie. He canceled it because violent thugs made it unsafe for him to travel. That’s the America trump created. If his videos have ever mattered to you, support him now. Buy The Final Score.

@donwinslow Order placed (never in doubt!) Solidarity Don. Hope you and family are doing as okay as can be. Sending positive thoughts your way.
