Read the book "The Power of the Dog" ? ? ?


"The Power of the Dog" by Don Winslow (@ 2005 , Vintage Books (Vintage Crime / Black Lizard) a division of Random House.

Good read. Suspensful, violent, graphic, etc.

Fiction, but seems to have many interesting parallels / similarities to the "drug wars".

Set in Baja, Sinaloa, Mx., S. Cal, NYC (and other Latin America "hot spots"), etc.

A good read ~ hard to put down if you like this style...

NONE of the book really touches on those beautiful things we LOVE about Baja.... It does fictionalize many of those things we dread about Baja (and the US), crime, drugs, and connections with intl' politics & crime. Might be a fun read for some of my fellow Nomads.
