Scarpa L: The Mafia Hit Man's Daughter

The Mafia Hit Man's Daughter

King of the Dogs

On a forgotten council estate where loyalty is everything and trust is in short supply, five lifelong friends have earned a reputation that everyone knows they're The Dogs.

When a young woman disappears without a trace, what begins as a local mystery quickly spirals into something far darker. Old rivalries resurface, dangerous secrets emerge, and a violent debt threatens to tear the group apart. As fear spreads through the estate, each friend must decide how far they're willing to go to protect one another and what they're prepared to sacrifice when the truth finally comes to light.

Told through the sharp, authentic voice of Martin, King of the Dogs captures the grit, humour, heartbreak, and fierce loyalty of working-class Britain. With unforgettable characters, razor-sharp dialogue, and escalating tension, Marc Hawkins delivers a powerful crime novel that explores friendship, identity, violence, and redemption.

For readers who enjoy realistic British crime fiction, character-driven thrillers, and emotionally charged contemporary novels, King of the Dogs is an unforgettable journey into a world where every choice has consequences.

Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies

‘A most welcome contribution to the field, rich in description.’ &nbsp;-

 Undercover: Police Surveillance in America
 &amp; 
 Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology
 &nbsp;‘Since Gary Marx's seminal work on undercover policing in America, there have been very few successful attempts to document the challenges and dilemmas with evidence and real insight. This work manages to do both and provide a unique window into the complex world of high policing.’ - &nbsp;
 Peter Neyroud
 CBE QPM, Associate Professor in Evidence-based Policing, University of Cambridge
 
 &nbsp;‘A highly readable, thought-provoking – and at times controversial – analysis of the issues and dilemmas the use of covert investigatory powers gives rise to. A valuable contribution to the subject, which I commend anyone working or interested in the field to read.’ - 
 Simon McKay
 , barrister at Simon McKay Chambers, and author of 
 Covert Policing: Law and PracticeThis book explores how the police use covert techniques to investigate serious and organized crime. It draws on a two-year ESRC-funded ethnographic study of covert policing in an English police service, focusing on a secretive department known as “Specialist Operations”, whose main function is to conduct prolonged and intrusive investigations into serious and organized crime. The book examines how, and why, the police use of covert resources contains an intrinsic level of risk, which creates a series of dilemmas for practitioners. The book, then, provides a rich description of the bureaucratic and statutory frameworks that guide how the police use covert techniques. &nbsp;In the final chapter, the book develops a theory of control in covert police work that explains how, and when, this type of police work becomes prone to abuse. The book draws on direct observations of police officers at work, including observation of live operations, and makes an important contribution to the public debate about the function of the police in a democratic society.&nbsp;Shane Mac Giollabhuí

Die neue Dimension des Kokain-Handels – Einblicke ins Zentrum der Organisierten Kriminalität

Der weiße Tsunami

In May 2017, four men from four countries gathered at a wedding in a sail-shaped hotel on an artificial island off the coast of Dubai. An Irishman, a Dutch-Moroccan, an Italian, and a Bosnian. Between them, they controlled roughly one-third of Europe's cocaine trade. The DEA was watching from outside.
CARTEL KINGS is the definitive account of the super cartel, the most sophisticated international cocaine network ever assembled, built in the gaps between national borders, encrypted phone networks, and a Gulf sanctuary that no treaty could reach. From a 1986 heroin bust in a Dublin apartment to a 2026 arrest in a Dubai detention facility, investigative journalist DJ Sikorski traces two intertwined stories: the rise of Christy Kinahan and his sons into a billion-euro empire with a professional boxing operation as its public face, and the global infrastructure that made it run, the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam, the 'Ndrangheta, the cracked encrypted networks, and the Marengo trial that killed three people before it convicted anyone.
Reconstructed entirely from the public record, court documents, sanctions filings, grand jury transcripts, and contemporaneous reporting, this is a story about what the most expensive law enforcement effort in history can and cannot do. Three life sentences. A private island seized. Two stolen Van Goghs recovered. A cartel leader in custody. And a European cocaine market at the largest recorded level in its history. The kings fall. The trade continues.
Al Capone had his tax returns. Daniel Kinahan had Eddie Hutch.
In the tradition of Roberto Saviano, and Misha Glenny, CARTEL KINGS is a riveting, meticulously sourced investigation into the new architecture of global organized crime, and the widening gap between the prosecution and the problem.

Cartel Kings

A marketplace can sell more than a product. It can sell access to an identity, a relationship, or a person's freedom.

Black Markets, Dark Secrets examines the hidden networks that connect stolen accounts, online fraud, coercive groups, forced criminal labor, extortion, and illicit money. Drawing on public case records and official reports, it follows the relationships behind the screen: who earns trust, who controls the information, who receives the proceeds, and who is prevented from leaving.

Across twelve chapters, discover how illicit marketplaces imitate ordinary businesses, why convincing scams can survive basic scrutiny, and how private information becomes a tool of control. Explore documented cases involving Genesis Market, Incognito, NXIVM, cryptocurrency investigations, and ANOM, alongside the institutions that can expose abuse or enable it.

The book also explains what arrest and seizure announcements actually establish, why recovery can remain difficult, and which practical steps help households and small organizations verify requests, protect accounts, preserve records, and respond after a loss.

Written for true-crime readers and curious general readers, this accessible nonfiction account brings evidence and human consequences together. It offers a clearer understanding of how hidden power works-and where people can challenge it.

Warum wir Kriminalität falsch bekämpfen und wie Deutschland sicherer werden kann

Echte Sicherheit

Ils n'ont pas de visage, pas de porte-parole, pas de chef reconnu. Pourtant, depuis le milieu des années 2010, le sigle DZ Mafia circule dans les dossiers judiciaires, les rapports de police, les messages cryptés retrouvés sur des téléphones saisis. Nés dans les cités de la banlieue lyonnaise avant de se ramifier vers Marseille, Paris et jusqu'aux Pays-Bas et à la Turquie, ces réseaux ont bouleversé l'économie de la drogue en France: sous-traitance de la violence à des mineurs recrutés sur Snapchat, exécutions commanditées depuis l'étranger, guerres de territoires réglées à la kalachnikov en plein jour, infiltration discrète des commerces et de l'immobilier.Pendant deux ans, cette enquête a remonté le fil de cette nébuleuse: témoignages de repentis, documents judiciaires, confidences de familles endeuillées, sources policières, douanières et financières. Ce livre retrace la genèse du phénomène, sa structuration en franchises quasi industrielles, ses connexions avec les cartels sud-américains et les ports d'Anvers et de Rotterdam, mais aussi la manière dont l'État français, entre fermeté affichée et impuissance structurelle, tente d'y faire face.Au-delà des chiffres et des faits divers, ce livre pose une question qui dépasse le seul cadre criminel: que reste-t-il de la promesse républicaine dans des quartiers où la loi du plus fort a trop souvent remplacé celle de l'État - et peut-on encore, aujourd'hui, inverser le cours de cette histoire ?DZ Mafia - Enquête sur un empire criminel- une enquête journalistique.
