“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
Soon to be a major motion picture from Nikolaj Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg (A Royal Affair)
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.

Wow! This book is a tour de force in the depiction of the war on drugs. It is uncompromising, brutal, and unflinching. It's one hell of a ride, and it will stay with you long past the time you read the last pages. Epic!
This book moves along at a break neck speed and the story is just so engrossing that you find yourself like a driver who see a traffic accident and knows it's going to be awful but can't help but look. Ray Porter is the reader and what a talented actor / reader he makes the story come alive with his reading. I would listen to it again yeah it's one of those books enjoy !
Winslow's book is a perfect fictional narrative describing the costs of the war on drugs. A mix of real life and fiction, the book never disappoints. If you are cognisant of history, some of the plot twists might be predictable but they are nonetheless effective. Ray Porter does a great job of reading the book, using his Mexican, American, Italian and Irish accents to great effect.
