“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
"An express train of a thriller that cannot be put down. . . . One
of this year's finest novels." —The Baltimore Sun
“A pit bull of a book. Once unleashed, this thriller . . . charges
and attacks without mercy, shredding anyone in its path. . . . A
well-tuned plot, driving rhythm, intelligence and a touch of
politics.” —The Washington Post
“You should try to get your hands on everything Winslow’s written,
because he’s one of the best thriller writers on the planet.”
—Esquire
“Blasts off like a rocket . . . The Power of the
Dog burns with rage at the badly flawed U.S. war on drugs.”
—The San Diego Union-Tribune
“Expansive, thought-provoking. . . . A cast of drug enforcement
agents and drug dealers, government officials and religious
leaders, willing participants and innocent bystanders is swept
up in a dizzying tidal wave of events that horrify and shock.”
—Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
“Thrilling. . . . Fast-paced. . . . Epic in scope.” —The Denver
Post
“Tremendous. . . . This puts even the excellent The Death and Life
of Bobby Z and California Fire and Life in the shade. . . . No
one since James Ellroy has conveyed the morally troubled heart
of the American dream with such savage aim. . . . A future
classic.” —The Guardian (London)
“The story is as addictive as its subject matter.” —New York
Post
“A miracle. . . . The best writing about Mexico by an Anglo since
the days of Graham Greene. . . . [A] book you don’t want to
end. . . . There’s no way you’re going to find anything more
compelling, more revealing about a major issue in society and
more pulse-pounding in terms of action and
suspense than this. . . . Read it for its action, its insight into
the drug underworld, its amazing prose. It’s the one crime
novel this year you absolutely can’t ignore.” —The Huntsville
Times
“[A] tour de force. . . . Harrowing. . . . Complex and riveting. .
. . Pack[s] one gut punch after another. . . . The best crime
novel about the Western Hemisphere’s drug trade . . . in many
years. It will leave you stunned. . . . A book like The Power
of the Dog rarely comes along, and when it does, let it break
your heart and open your mind.” —January Magazine
“It is impossible in a few words to do justice to Don Winslow’s The
Power of the Dog. . . . The hero’s determination is
passionately portrayed, and his personal crusade makes a
memorable and thought-provoking novel.” —The Daily Telegraph
(London)
“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
“Provocative. . . . Convincing. . . . Every character, even those
doomed to be quickly ground under the wheels of fate, is a
living, breathing person. . . . The story shocks, educates and
puts strangely human faces on ‘the problem.’ . . . A very
believable tale that delicately walks the line between
documentary and fiction.” —Edge Boston
“Exciting. . . . Well-plotted. . . . [A] tense, brutal
thriller.” —The Decatur Daily
“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
“Revelatory. . . . A dynamo of a book. . . . [Winslow] brings an
intense realism to a pounding account of narco-trafficking
across our southern border. . . . He fuels his narrative with
conviction and rocket-engine pacing . . . [and] a splendidly
realized cast of characters on both sides of the law. . . . If
you like an adventure into the sacred or the untouchable, take this
ride.” —Entertainment Today
Lots of people write about PIs, but Winslow actually is one. His new novel, which ranges from the 1970s to today, examines the consequences of the drug wars. With a seven-city tour. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
