I have read the Cartel and it is just as excellent as The Power of the Dog. This is the first book in the Power of the Dog Series, it continues in The Cartel, and in The Border.

This book goes through 3 decades of drug traffic starting in the 1970’s to the 2000’s, from Mexico, Columbia and the United States, through the mob, the cartel and the narcos. There’s a scene that will leave you floored as a bad guy does the unthinkable to take down a rival, think Red Wedding from Game of Thrones. This looks at both sides like I have never read before, it shows the good guys having to cross lines they never thought they could cross and the bad guys crossing those lines to keep what they have. You live as the good guys the bad guys and the people in between that are casualties of the drug war. The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow is Scarface and The Godfather rolled into one.
