The story of the Essex Boys murders is so much more than a simple gangland hit. It's a maze of whispers, changing stories, and claims of corruption that rips the curtain back on the brutal underworld of the 1990s. You've got the official story on one side: a drug deal that went sideways, a bloody end to a feud between violent men. And on the other side, you have a sprawling conspiracy theory about a professional hit, a cover-up, and the chilling idea that the real architects of this massacre walked free.

De prisiones, putas y pistolas es la historia de una amistad y también de una promesa, de cómo dos amigos trazan un plan y lo llevan a cabo, no en elegantes despachos ministeriales, ni en los restaurantes más selectos, ni tan siquiera en las agencias de inteligencia estatales, sino en grises oficinas de los funcionarios anónimos, en los pasillos de las prisiones o en conversaciones telefónicas, y que consiguen que los esforzados y a veces desencantados servidores públicos, encargados de lidiar con la decepción y la mala leche, y a los que nadie otorgará nunca medallas al mérito, sean quienes l

In this captivating portrait, author Michael Shnayerson sets out not to absolve Bugsy Siegel but rather to understand him in all his complexity.

Born in 1960, Jesus Ruiz Henao grew up poor, but wanted to be rich like the drug dealers he saw growing up in the cocaine-producing region of Colombia’s Valle of the Cauca.

There, he and his wife settled in the quiet suburb of Hendon, where he held down mundane but respectable cleaning and bus driving jobs. At least to outward appearances....

His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down. Nemesis is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel and perhaps Brazil’s most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution while everyone around him drew guns and partied.

Lange bevor Joaquin "Jack" Garcia mit einigen der mächtigsten Capos der New Yorker Mafia verkehrte, war er einer der untypischsten Neuzugänge im Agentenstab des FBI: Unter falscher Identität sollte der gebürtige Kubaner in Mafiakreisen ermitteln und erhielt dafür als erster Geheimagent in der Geschichte des FBI eine fundierte "Gangsterausbildung".

After his retirement from the Marine Corps in the early 1930s, General Smedley D. Butler embarked on a national lecture tour, where he gave his speech about how commercial interests benefit from war. The speech was well received and he wrote an expanded version of it, which was published as War Is A Racket. The work was published by Reader's Digest as a condensed book supplement, which added to its popularity.  

Crime doesn't just pay, it tells. What we choose to ban, penalise or prosecute says something about us; and how far the mobsters and mafias are still able to ply their trades says something about us, too. Homo Criminalis tells a thrilling tale of the world's changing values, the rise of the...
