Don Winslow has always had the crime beat. He has smuggled money in South Africa, sold safari tours in China, and simulated hostage exchanges whilst working as a 'mock' terrorist for the Institute for International Studies. He has also worked in the theatre, film and as a private investigator. More recently he has settled down to work as an independent consultant in issues involving litigation arising from criminal behaviour. Also a prolific writer, his novels include The Death and Life of Bobby Z, California Fire and Life and The Power of the Dog.
Praise for The Power of the Dog: No one since James Ellroy has conveyed the morally troubled heart of the American dream with such savage aim... A future classic. * The 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 * It was hard to see how Winslow could top his excellent 2006 novel The Power of the Dog, but he's done it ... Masterful * The Guardian * Smoothly oiled, superbly assembled . . . A traditional mob tale on steroids * The Providence Journal * A gripping thriller . . . Like his book's central figure, Mr. Winslow is good at what he does * The Wall Street Journal * Graceful . . . Wonderfully imagined . . . Winslow's story explodes with . . . gritty realism * Pittsburg Tribune-Review * Smart, staccato . . . A reading experience of sustained intensity, with appealingly sleazy characters and an Elmore Leonard-like snap in the dialogue * The Plain Dealer *
