Reviews
"The war on drugs is powerfully dramatized in Winslow's ambitious, dense and gritty latest . . . Winslow's depth of research and unflagging attention to detail give the story both heft and immediacy, and his staccato, present-tense prose shifts easily among wildly disparate settings and multiple points of view. A complex plot, well-drawn characters and plenty of double-crossing make this a thinking person's narco-thriller."-"Publishers Weekly "This book comes at you like a champion boxer, deft and probing, and bristling with menace. Aiming for both the head and the gut, it connects solidly with every punch." -Dan Fesperman, author of "The Warlord's Son ""The Power of the Dog is the most compelling crime novel I've read in several years. It's sharply written, vertiginously fast, and best of all it's about something. In the unholy trinity of narcotics, dollars and politics Winslow has located our heart of darkness. This is a spectacular novel, disturbing and unforgettable." -T. Jefferson Parker, author of "California Girl "With an epic's scope and a freight train's rush, "The Power of the Dog is an absolute page-turner. I couldn't put it down and I was sorry when it ended. As always, Don Winslow delivers!"-S.J. Rozan, author of "Absent Friends "From the heart-wrenching very first sentence I was hooked. A soaring, blazing saga of the real drug world, it is masterly, moving, and compassionate: an instant classic. It's been a long wait since Winslow's wondrous "California Fire and Life. Was it worth the wait? Was it ever, and then some." -Ken Bruen, author of "The Killing of the Tinkers "Don Winslow's "The Power of the Dog is a great read. Intricate, powerful, and fierce, it takes the reader into the moral labyrinth of the international drug trade and the men who lose their souls along the way. Winslow's knowledge and insight have never been more fully realized. I believed every word of it." -Robert Ferrigno, author of "The Wake-Up ""The Power of the Dog is a steaming cauldron of crime, corruption, and cabals, an epic of Godfather proportions with just enough fact sprinkled into the stew to make this one fabulous fable."-Andrew Vachss, author of "Down Here ""The Power of the Dog is the first great dope novel since "Dog Soldiers thirty years ago. It's frightening and sad, with a superbly sustained intensity. It's a beautifully compressed vision of hell, with all its attendant moral madness."-James Ellroy, author of "The Cold Six Thousand, "The war on drugs is powerfully dramatized in Winslow's ambitious, dense and gritty latest . . .

Synopsis
From the highly praised author of "The Life and Times of Bobby Z" comes a huge, sprawling, breakneck-paced novel about America's drug world--its devastations and deliriums, its complexities of alliances and betrayals, its life-shaping effect on all the pawns, the kings, and the law enforcers who inhabit it both willingly and not., From the acclaimed author of "The Death and Life of Bobby Z" and "California Fire and Life" comes an explosive novel of the drug trade described by "The Baltimore Sun" as "an express train of a thriller.", From the highly praised author of "The Life and Times of Bobby Z: a huge, sprawling, breakneck-paced novel about America's drug world in our time--its devastations and deliriums, its complexities of alliances and betrayals, its life-shaping effect on all the pawns, the kings, and the law enforcers who inhabit it both willingly and not. Spanning the thirty years from the late 1960s to the turn of the 21st century, "Power of the Dog tells the riveting, often harrowing story of five people--a DEA agent, a drug lord, a call girl, a hit man, and a priest--caught up in the War On Drugs. As they struggle to escape the sins of their pasts and create some kind of decent future, the characters take us through the rise of the Mexican drug Federacion, the demise of a Mafia family, the CIA's involvement in cocaine smuggling, and the vicious netherworld of the drug trade across the border between San Diego and Tijuana. On the way, the five men and women find love and lose it, find their souls and lose them, and find them again. It's a story about power, politics, love, revenge and survival, as the five people either triumph over, or fall to, 'the power of the dog'. And it is Don Winslow writing at the very top of his form.
