Description

"In their book, Antonio Nicaso, an internationally renowned expert on organized crime groups, and Lee Lamothe, a veteran investigative journalist specializing in criminal conspiracies and human smuggling, present solid evidence of how established organized crime groups - such as the Mafia and Triads - have changed tactics to face the challenges of a changing underworld - a world that is seeing the rise of violent and power-hungry gangs from Albania, Mexico and Russia." "Angels, Mobsters and Narco-Terrorists offers a brutally realistic look at how the United States and Canada, due to their shared border, have become prime targets for criminal empires that routinely engage in money laundering and traffic in human cargo, narcotics, arms, and prostitution. On the international scene, the book reveals how state-sanctioned crime thrives on heroin profits and cyber crime is emerging as a very lucrative and baffling activity to investigate and shut down."--BOOK JACKET.
