The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow.
Huge storyline - based around Mexican drug lords, New York Mafia and the cop trying to bust them all. I'm about half way through and the story has already covered 15 or 20 years. It's incorporated the Contras, the Mexico earthquake and all sorts of other real events into the story. If you're offended by the word fuck then don't read this book. It took me a while to get used to Winslow's style but now I really like the way he writes. Very realistic, this is not a book for the squeamish - it's a very violent world he's describing. The body count so far is enormous! It's not much bigger than lots of other books around but, gee, he packs a lot in. And it's not all just about killing. His character development is very good as well. None of them are particularly likeable though.
A good read.
