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. 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.

It fumes, it smokes, it burns it soars, it pitches, it cascades along.' - The Dallas Morning News 'The war on drugs is powerfully dramatized in Winslow's ambitious, dense and gritty latest. and Mexico, which is biblical in its dramatic scope and in the classic beauty of its prose rumbling in the background like heavenly thunder.' - The Chicago Tribune 'A rippingly good thriller. A heartbreaking chronicle of the drug wars between the U.S. A page turner.' - The Washington Post 'Powerful.

A well-tuned plot, driving rhythm, intelligence and a touch of politics. charges and attacks without mercy, shredding anyone in its path. One of this year's finest novels.' - The Baltimore Sun 'A pit bull of a book. 'An express train of a thriller that cannot be put down.
