Ein packender Thriller über einen skrupellosen mexikanischen Drogenbaron und einen amerikanischen Polizisten, der mit allen Mitteln dessen Kartell zerschlagen und den Mord an einem Kollegen rächen will. Ein großartiger Roman in der Tradition von James Ellroy und Don Delillo.
Don Winslow's break-out novel. A hugely ambitious, page-turning thriller of power and revenge, in the tradition of the Great American Novel.

A brilliant page-turning thriller of power and revenge on the front lines of the drug war.
Drug lord Miguel Angel Barrera is head of the Mexican drug federación, responsible for millions of dollars worth of cocaine traffic into the US and the torture and murder of those who stand in its way. His nephew, Adan Barrera, is his worthy successor.
Art Keller is a US government operative, so determined to obtain revenge for a murdered colleague that his pursuit of the cartel veers dangerously towards an obsession outside the law. In a brutal world filled with striking characters, from a high class prostitute to an Irish hitman and a charismatic Catholic priest, everyone is in search of some kind of salvation - or damnation...
Don Winslow's masterpiece is not only a page-turning thri ller but also a rich and compelling novel in the league of James Ellroy or Don DeLillo.

Rezension:
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
