What is happening in organised crime today? Is there anyone in London to rival the memory of the Krays? Has the FBI managed to squash the 'Five Families' of New York or has the Mafia simply forged a new and even more deadly alliance with Russian criminals? What has happened to the Triads since the Chinese government took back Hong Kong and Macau?
In this book, James Morton answers all these questions and many more. From Europe to South America, the Mafia to the Middle East, Morton charts the effects of a changing world on everything from prostitution to people smuggling, identity theft to old-fashioned robbery. He describes the ways organised gangs are making increasing use of technology, and shows that whatever criminal gangs are being stopped, even deadlier alternatives are growing in their place.
