The Power of the Dog

This is a brutal, epic story of the drug war mostly south of the border in Mexico. Art Keller is a driven DEA agent, Nora Hayden is a high-end call girl, and Callan is an Irish hitman. Then there's the cartel characters. Every time I picked this up I had to read more and more. There's really no winners in the drug war and this book isn't shy about showing that. There's some seriously nail-biting scenes too. It's an intense book.
