'Mexico's drug problem is America's': crime legend Don Winslow – books podcast

Don Winslow is the bestselling author of more than 20 novels and winner of numerous awards including the LA Times book prize and the Ian Fleming Silver Dagger.

His latest book The Border is the latest in his Cartel trilogy, a series that covers murder, betrayal and family ties. Wanting to force the US to recognise that Mexico's drug problem is also its own, Don talks to Alison about the personal toll of researching the stories of those murdered and targeted by the cartels, and his opposition to Donald Trump's border policies.
