Trade ReviewThe 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 *
Don Winslow is the kind of cult writer who is so good you almost want to keep him to yourself. -- Ian Rankin
The first great dope novel since
Dog Soldiers thirty years ago. It's frightening and sad, with a superbly sustained intensity. A beautifully compressed vision of hell, with all its attendant moral madness. -- James Ellroy
A damn good read. If you've never read Don Winslow, start now. -- Val McDermid
It is impossible in a few words to do [it] justice ... It's a huge book, both in size and scope
