All Them Dogs

Selected as a "2026 Book to Watch" by major publications including The Times, The Irish Times, and New Statesman, Djamel White’s All Them Dogs is a searing, adrenaline-fueled literary thriller that stands as one of the most anticipated debuts of the year.

About the Book: The West Dublin gangland has changed, and Tony Ward is determined to reclaim his place in it. After five years away, Tony returns to a landscape where his mentor is gone and his old friends have moved on. When he secures a spot working alongside Darren ‘Flute’ Walsh—a top enforcer for the ruthless crime boss Aengus Lavelle—it seems like the perfect way back in.

But Flute Walsh is not the man Tony remembers from school; he is brooding, unpredictable, and dangerously magnetic. As Tony navigates the high-stakes world of gangland power and attempts to outrun a vengeful past, his professional alliance with Flute sparks an intense, complicated attraction that threatens to destroy them both. By turns savage, thrilling, and unexpectedly tender, All Them Dogs is a masterful exploration of violence, desire, and the desperate search for belonging in an unsparing world. Praised by luminaries like Anne Enright and Roddy Doyle, this is a debut that demands to be devoured.
