“All Them Dogs is all that—a book you inhale, devour, grapple with, and reel from more than read.” – Booker Prize winner Marlon James

“A fast-paced tale of underworld revenge and star-crossed love that never waits for readers to catch their breath.” – NPR

“In the best Irish style, Djamel White uses a local voice to blast through language and make it new. All Them Dogs is a stylish, adroit, and gritty debut.” – Booker Prize winner Anne Enright

A young Irish gangster is caught in a brutal dance between desire and loyalty

Tony Ward is back in Dublin. After five years in England, where he fled after murdering a rival gang member, he returns to find that his mentor is dead and his best friend has gone straight.

Keen to reestablish himself, he jumps at the chance to work for the enforcer of a local crime boss. But Flute Walsh is a far cry from the boy Tony once knew. Drawn to Flute in ways he never expected, Tony finds that the boundaries he thought he understood are breaking down in a world where nothing stays buried and where retribution is just a bullet away.

By turns savage, erotic, and unexpectedly tender, All Them Dogs is a gripping story of violence, lust, and greed that explores one man’s struggles to find balance in an unsparing world.
