James Ellroy calls
Power of the Dog “the first great dope novel since Dog Soldiers thirty years ago.”
He’s not joking. This sprawling badass of a novel covers decades of … everything:
CIA, DEA, FBI, NSA, NAFTA, Irish mob, Italian mafia, cold warriors, Sandinistas, contras, high-priced whores, corrupt priests, Reagan, Bush, Giuliani, Colombian drug lords, Mexican cartels, campesinos, Gomeros, torture, despair, murder, sex, love, etc… The most absorbing, intense, fast-paced, and just plain motherfucking badass book I’ve read in a long time. Read this. I dare you. (Robert DeNiro just bought the rights to Winslow’s latest, The Winter of Frankie Machine, so read this guy before he blows up!)
