Things are different since Tony Ward landed back in town. The West Dublin gangland has changed. His old mentor is dead, and his best pal Kenny Boyle is on the straight and narrow.
After five years keeping quiet across the way, Tony is keen to reinstate himself, and when the opportunity arises to work side by side with Darren 'Flute' Walsh, a top enforcer of notorious crime boss Aengus Lavelle, it feels like a no brainer.
Biting off more than he can chew has never bothered Tony Ward, but Flute Walsh is not the meek, quiet boy Tony remembers from school. Brooding, stoic, and unpredictably dangerous, Tony finds himself drawn to his new associate in more ways than one.
With retribution from his past actions always close in the rear view, the protection offered by Flute's standing in the gang is crucial. But how safe is Tony really, when a mutual attraction starts to complicate matters?
By turns savage, thrilling and unexpectedly tender, All Them Dogs is a gripping story of violence, lust, and greed that explores one man's struggles to find his place in an unsparing world.

Critic Reviews
One of the debuts of the year
In the best Irish style, Djamel White uses a local voice to blast through language and make it new. His hero, Tony Ward, is a bittersweet confection of self-defeating swagger . . . a stylish, adroit and gritty debut (Anne Enright, Booker Prize-winning author of THE GATHERING)
All Them Dogs is all that- a book you inhale, devour, grapple with, and reel from more than read. A coming-of-age novel for an age that comes breathing down the back of your neck. The kind of book where everything is on the edge of a knife and where love, like death, is either a kiss or a bullet away (Marlon James, Booker Prize-winning author of A BRIEF HISTORY OF SEVEN KILLINGS)
Exhilarating and often frightening - Djamel White's first novel is a hugely satisfying read. It adds new streets to Dublin's literary map (Roddy Doyle, Booker Prize-winning author of PADDY CLARKE HA HA HA)
As beautiful and tough as an uncut jewel, this kinetic and claustrophobic novel takes you deep into a darkness where desire, sex and violence become dangerously, seductively tangled (Colin Walsh, author of Sunday Times bestseller, KALA)
A moving, fast-paced novel about masculinity, violence and vulnerability, set in parts of Dublin that rarely appear in literature and written in prose at once glittering and tender (Sarah Moss, author of GHOST WALL)
Dublin is Vice City in Djamel White's frenetic and exhilarating debut novel. All Them Dogs has the energy and drama of a shoot-out (Rob Doyle, author of CAMEO)
All Them Dogs is a claustrophobic masterpiece-an emotionally devastating literary crime novel set in Dublin's underworld, where violence, poverty, and toxic masculinity form a brutal backdrop to a brilliantly tender love story. Here is an intimate tale of violence and desire that is as sharp as the knives wielded on the page. Djamel White has taken a familiar genre and turned it into something bright and new, burning like white phosphorus (Isaac Fitzgerald, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of DIRTBAG, MASSACHUSETTS)
All Them Dogs is as compelling as your favourite gangster movie, as profound as your favourite novel. So sexy and tender and dangerous and poetic and frightening (August Thompson, author of ANYONE'S GHOST)
Djamel White's outstanding debut charts the giddy, chaotic rise and fall of Tony Ward, a sensitive, volatile gangster vivid with ambition and desire. Propulsive, incendiary storytelling renders viscerally the stylish squalor and delirious brutality of Dublin's underworld; Ward's supple, engaging voice blends kinetic force with perceptive, lyrical insight. A dazzling, unsettling, fever dream of a novel (Declan Hughes)
A pummelling debut
White is backed by serious pedigree in the publishing world . . . There will be a lot of anticipation for All Them Dogs
[A] breathless debut . . . Dublin's answer to Top Boy
