An explosive novel of the drug trade that takes you deep inside a world riddled with corruption, betrayal, and bloody revenge. The prequel to The Cartel, and set about 10 years earlier, The Power of the Dog 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 Federacion. 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.

Yikes! submitted by Kikumatsu97 on July 27, 2015, 3:15pm It takes a skilled writer to keep a complex story line with multiple characters moving at such a fast pace without throwing the reader into a land of confusion. Wilson has done a terrific job with this book. The book does contain numerous depictions of graphic violence, but hey the book is dealing with the business of drug trafficking. I don't believe these are the types of people that would settle their business differences with just a pillow fight.

Thrilling submitted by 21621032124198 on May 13, 2022, 10:38am This was a really exciting, thrilling, frightening, and completely absorbing book. I checked it out by mistake, thinking it was the popular Thomas Savage book, but once I started reading it, I couldn't stop. Agree with Kikumatsu97 that there is a lot of graphic violence - it's like watching an Al Pacino movie - but the author still kept me engaged despite the gore.
