The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow

5.0

I picked this up after watching the "Sicario" movies written by Taylor Sheridan. It's obvious those movies are a direct descendant of this excellent novel. The story traces the War on Drugs from it's inception through the current era. An extremely detailed story involving New York mob families, Latin American cartels, the CIA and the DEA. Lots of moving parts rolled into a huge book that reads like Tom Clancy himself could have written it.
