The Power of the Dog

£9.99

With a very mixed group of characters, each in his or her own way seeking some sort of salvation or redemption, this novel shows how the US government and its quasi-autonomous agencies, all for their own reasons encouraged and actively financed the development of the drugs cartels and their trade in Mexico.

Description

‘Breathtaking’ JEREMY CLARKSON
‘Winslow’s masterpiece (so far) … should have a place on every crime freak’s bookshelf. Superb’ INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
_______________________
A brilliant page-turning thriller of power and revenge on the front lines of the drug war.

Drug lord Miguel Angel Barrera is head of the Mexican drug federación, responsible for millions of dollars worth of cocaine traffic into the US and the torture and murder of those who stand in its way. His nephew, Adan Barrera, is his worthy successor.

Art Keller is a US government operative, so determined to obtain revenge for a murdered colleague that his pursuit of the cartel veers dangerously towards an obsession outside the law. In a brutal world filled with striking characters, from a high class prostitute to an Irish hitman and a charismatic Catholic priest, everyone is in search of some kind of salvation – or damnation…

Don Winslow’s masterpiece is not only a page-turning thriller but also a rich and compelling novel in the league of James Ellroy or Don DeLillo.
