The Power of the Dog (by Don Winslow)

THE POWER OF THE DOG by Don Winslow (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

From the streets of New York City to the jungles of Central America, this explosive novel takes you deep inside the drug trade, a world riddled with corruption, betrayal, and bloody revenge.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones® Award-winning narrator, Ray Porter. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Porter captures the story’s intensity, deftly using inflection and pauses….” (AudioFile)
