Présentation de l'éditeur

A tale of malevolence and violence, this "stunning novel" (New York Times Book Review) is the story of Tannhauser, a crazed backswoodsman turned drug lord, and the idiosyncratic characters who are enticed into his destructive orbit.

"An expansive story told in lush, extravagant prose, Dogs of God is a big book in every sense of the word." —Elizabeth Dewberry Vaughn
