With organised gangs making increasing use of technology to expand their empires, crime is more international than it has ever been. GANGLAND TODAY charts the effects of a changing world on everything from prostitution to people smuggling, identity theft to old-fashioned robbery. Morton covers both the current activities of well-known gangs from the Mafia to the South American drug cartels, as well as several less familiar operations: the kings of crime in Israel; the Middle East, from where much crime in India is controlled; the Canadian bikers' war to control the drug trade, which has cost scores of lives of players and innocent bystanders alike.
- 'Morton is an expert in his field and his depth of knowledge shines through in this who's who in gangsterism. The type of true crime book you can dip into, rather than read from cover to cover' - Sunderland Echo For GANGLAND: 'Faithfully factual, gripping…prescribed reading' - Evening Standard 'The tales are told with a flourish in a fascinating, useful and lively history' - The Times 'An utterly compelling read' - FHM
