Savages book don winslow5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Now Chon’s dander is up, and even Ben finds his gorge rising. The lads, who’ve been looking to get out of the drug business anyway, politely decline, then rapidly change their tune when Miguel (“Lado”) Arroyo, Baja’s advance man for SoCal, has Ophelia kidnapped and threatens to execute her instead of merely holding her hostage for three years. ![]() One day, duly constituted representatives of the Baja Cartel, under the leadership of engineer Hernan Lauter’s iron-willed mother Elena, approach Ben and Chonny with an offer they can’t refuse: Sell their product to Baja at wholesale prices and turn their distribution list over to the cartel so that the gross profits from Ultra White Widow can be redirected south of the border. Studious Ben has developed a strain of Ultra White Widow that gets the most jaundiced users high off one toke Chon provides security for the operation, its distributors and their baby-doll mascot Ophelia. Winslow ( The Dawn Patrol, 2008, etc.) turns a drug war into staccato serio-comedy that restricts the police to supporting roles.īen and Chon are old buddies whose complementary styles-Ben is laid-back and mellow, Chon is a former SEAL with baditude-have made them successful partners in a Southern California drug operation. ![]()
