bloody revenge.
Book Two of the Power of the Dog Series
It’s
2004. Adán Barrera, kingpin of El Federación, is languishing in a
California federal prison. Ex-DEA agent Art Keller passes his days in a
monastery, having lost everything to his thirty-year blood feud with the
drug lord. Then Barrera escapes. Now, there’s a two-million-dollar
bounty on Keller’s head and no one else capable of taking Barrera down.
As the carnage of the drug war reaches surreal new heights, the two men
are locked in a savage struggle that will stretch from the mountains of
Sinaloa to the shores of Veracruz, to the halls of power in Washington,
ensnaring countless others in its wake. Internationally bestselling
author Don Winslow's The Cartel is the searing, unfiltered epic of the drug war in the twenty-first century.
