The Power of the Dog: A Novel
Don Winslow
From Don Winslow (“A writer so good you almost want to keep him to yourself”—Ian Rankin), an electrifying new novel of love and revenge, politics and influence, corruption and honor.

Spanning the years from the rise of the Mexican drug Federación in the 1970s to the Iran-Contra affair in the 1980s to the vicious drug wars of the 1990s, the action ranges from Manhattan’s…
A Cool Breeze on the Underground: A Neal Carey Mystery
Don Winslow
Neal Carey is not your usual private eye. A graduate student at Columbia University, he grew up on the streets of New York, usually on the wrong side of the law.

Don Winslow
Frank Machianno is a stand-up businessman, a devoted father to his daughter, and a beloved fixture in the community. He’s also a retired hit man. Years ago Frank consigned his Mob ties to the past, which is where he wants them to stay.

He has to figure out who, and why, and he has to do it fast.
The problem is that the list of candidates is about the size of his local phone book and Frank’s rapidly running out of time.
And then things go really bad.
The Death and Life of Bobby Z: A Novel
Don Winslow
When Tim Kearney draws a license plate across the throat of a Hell’s Angel, he’s pretty much a dead man. It’s his third crime and, according to California law, that gives him “life without the possibility of parole.” Killing a Hell’s Angel also makes him a dead man on any prison yard in California. That’s when the DEA makes Kearney an offer: impersonate the late, legendary dope smuggler Bobby Z so that the agency can trade him to Don Huertero—northern Mexico’s drug kingpin—for a captured DEA agent. Tim Kearney bears an uncanny resemblance to Bobby Z, and, with…
