If you've read Bigger Gangsters you know that each chapter has a subtitle that is a song title popular during the time frame of that story - 1969 - and each song has lyrics that relate to the actions or mood in that chapter. Because That Dog Don't Bark is a companion piece to Bigger Gangsters, taking place in 1975, I followed that same formula.
In the chapter when Jackson becomes complacent and is kidnapped by his and Angel’s arch nemesis, the subtitle is Idiot Wind by Bob Dylan, reflecting Jackson’s thoughts about letting his guard down and falling prey to that dangerous gang.
You can listen to it here.
