All Them Dogs by Djamel White

from $11.60
Hardcover:

Longlisted for the 2026 Booker Prize as one of three debut novelists on the list; Marlon James calls it "a book you inhale, devour, grapple with."

A gangster returns to Dublin after five years on the run, only to fall for the enforcer he's supposed to be working for — and discover that love, like death, is always just one bullet away.

Tony Ward is back in Dublin after five years hiding out in England, having fled after murdering a rival gang member — and he wastes no time falling back into the only world he's ever known.

When he starts working for Flute Walsh, the enforcer for a local crime boss, Tony finds himself drawn to Flute in ways he never expected, in a world where nothing stays buried and retribution is always close behind.

Savage, erotic, and unexpectedly tender, Djamel White's debut All Them Dogs is a gripping story of violence, desire, and one man's struggle to find balance in an unsparing world — a fresh, electric addition to Irish literature.

    Trove gives you a better option to read new books immediately.

    Rent first, then return it when you are done — or keep it if you love it!

  • Choose Rent New, read the book for up to 30 days per copy, then return it or keep it.

    If you keep it, the remaining balance applies as if you bought it outright.

  • You are charged the day after your rental is due using the payment method we have on file.

  • Each rental copy is kept for 30 days, keep it and pay the difference between your rental and the cover price.

    The book should be returned in very good condition so another reader can enjoy it!
