No one since James Ellroy has conveyed the morally troubled heart of the American dream with such savage aim, and Winslow cleverly adds a pointed political dimension to his saga. A future classic.
Guardian
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.
Sunday Telegraph
The Power of the Dog throws shadows a mile long. Fearless, humane, aesthetically fervent, it's also passionate, unapologetic, gorgeously written and unquestionably authentic.
