Critics Review
-
“The 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

“A pit bull of a book. Once unleashed, this thriller…charges and attacks without mercy, shredding anyone in its path.”
Washington Post
-
“An express train of a thriller that cannot be put down…One of this year’s finest novels.”

-
“Ambitious, dense and gritty…Well-drawn characters and plenty of double-crossing make this a thinking person’s narco-thriller.”
