The Power of the Dog
DEA agent Art Keller becomes entangled with the Barrera brothers and their growing drug empire. Around them, a priest, a young woman and a hired killer are drawn into a conflict in which alliances are temporary and revenge can outlast any official campaign.
Winslow follows the drug trade across Mexico, the United States and Central America. It is a violent, expansive crime novel whose geography is made of border crossings, institutions and relationships, showing how closely the worlds on either side of the border depend on one another.
“An express train of a thriller that cannot be put down.”
