Description

From the New York Times bestselling author, here is the first novel in the explosive Power of the Dog series—an action-filled look at the drug trade that takes you deep inside a world riddled with corruption, betrayal, and bloody revenge.

Book One of the Power of the Dog Series
 
Set about ten years prior to The Cartel, this gritty novel introduces a brilliant cast of characters. Art Keller 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 FederaciĂłn. 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.

    This story was not what was e le Ted, it was, however, do much better. A distinctively enduring tale, and a most interesting, and at times thrilling, story. The mafia world, the drug wars world, the Mexican drug lords, the church, and the cops are rolled up into one fantastic story. Read it, all, you will enjoy the ride.

    By Unbelievable!! Great read!!
    This has been a very great read for me while i attended college. Has opened my eyes to the awful truth of the war on drugs. It has given me a inspiration to once again write. Its context is totally beleivable and the parallels are fantastic. I am excited to read the continuation of this book. Its awesome. The ending is even better then the beginning. Don Winslow has become my inspiration.
