Organised crime is now the country’s third biggest industry. The number of gangland murders, shootings and kidnappings, along with the levels of drug trafficking, people smuggling and money laundering, have all experienced phenomenal growth.
In Gangs, award-winning journalist Tony Thompson takes readers on a gripping journey into the underworld – from Triad human traffickers in Dover and ecstasy factory owners in Liverpool, to Albanian vice barons in London and gun-toting teenage crack dealers in Birmingham.
Drawing on interviews with major criminals, Gangs reveals the inside story of contemporary organised crime and its day-to-day impact on Britain.
