This explosive novel of the drug trade takes you deep inside a world riddled with corruption, betrayal, and bloody revenge.
Art Montana is an obsessive DEA agent. The Barrera brothers are heirs to a drug empire. Nora Hayden is a jaded teenager who becomes a high-class hooker. Father Parada is a powerful and incorruptible Catholic priest. Callan is an Irish kid from Hell’s Kitchen who grows up to be a merciless hit man. And they are all trapped in the world of the Mexican drug Federación. From the streets of New York City to Mexico City and Tijuana to the jungles of Central America, this is the war on drugs like you’ve never seen it.

Reviews
“The Power of the Dog throws shadows a mile long. Fearless, humane, aesthetically fervent, it’s also passionate, unapologetic, gorgeously written, and unquestionably authentic.”
(Dennis Lehane)“A pit bull of a book. Once unleashed, this thriller…charges and attacks without mercy, shredding anyone in its path.”
(Washington Post)“An express train of a thriller that cannot be put down…One of this year’s finest novels.”
“Ambitious, dense and gritty…Well-drawn characters and plenty of double-crossing make this a thinking person’s narco-thriller.”
(Publishers Weekly)“Porter captures the story’s intensity, deftly using inflection and pauses.”
(AudioFile)Great story full of facts no doubt yet stomach churning on drug gang lord violence. Loss of appetite both for food and books recounting cold blooded ghastliness.
Rough irony

A gripping story told through the view of different characters on both sides of the law but who is “good” or “bad” remains unclear,
What is clear (to me) is that Don Winslow is a great writer and Ray Porter is an evenly matched narrator.
Expect an uncomfortable but nevertheless worthy experience!
A tour the force in the war on drugs with no captures taken
