That means two strong roles for actors who’ll be aged up as the story winds around to the present. On the other side is Adan Barrera, head of El Federacion, the world’s most powerful drug cartel and the man who brutally murdered Keller’s partner. The good guy is Art Keller, a Vietnam vet-turned DEA agent assigned in Mexico at the start of Nixon’s war on drugs. Don Winslow is the author of twenty-two acclaimed, award-winning international bestsellers, including the New York Times bestsellers The Force and The Border, the 1 international bestseller The Cartel, The Power of the Dog, Savages, and The Winter of Frankie Machine. Now, he and his Savages co-writer and exec producer Shane Salerno have grand plans to set both books up and tell a two-film epic story of the futility of the drug war that spans 45 years and focuses on two mortal enemies. Winslow has had some of his novels adapted into movies - the Oliver Stone-directed Savages the most recent - but he has always declined big-money option offers on The Power Of The Dog. The sequel novel is the first one edited by Sonny Mehta since he won back Winslow from S&S it was Mehta who edited The Power Of The Dog and The Winter Of Frankie Machine. Knopf has firmed plans for a June 23 publication date for The Cartel, the title author Don Winslow has chosen for the sequel novel to his seminal 2005 drug war epic The Power Of The Dog.
