Scarpa L: The Mafia Hit Man's Daughter

The Mafia Hit Man's Daughter

Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies

‘A most welcome contribution to the field, rich in description.’ &nbsp;- 
 Gary Marx
 , Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology &amp; author of 
 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
 is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Ulster University, Belfast, in Northern Ireland.

NARCO TALES True Stories from America's War on Drugs 
Leo Silva's education in organized crime didn't begin at the DEA Academy. It began years earlier, when he was a teenage busboy in a glittering Brownsville nightclub, refilling water glasses for the men who built the Gulf Cartel-close enough to hear deals struck through the cigarette smoke. Years later, their faces stared back at him from wanted posters. And he was the one sent to hunt them. 
Drawn from real events, Narco Tales runs deep into the war on drugs: a cargo jet landing on a blacked-out highway, a rookie's first heroin buy beside a hard-drinking legend haunted by a dead partner, and the informants, comandantes, and ghosts who live in a world that runs not on rules-only consequences. 
These are stories of survival, of choices and their cost, of the razor's edge between justice and vengeance. Because the deeper you go into that world, the more you realize-everyone pays.

Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing through Hawala Money Transfer Operators
 investigates the historical, contemporary, and future orientations of the hawala system as it exists at the nexus of national security policy and practice, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism and criminal activity. It examines the emerging connections between criminal and terrorist organisations that aim to exploit this time-honoured system for their unlawful and violent intentions, states, and financial systems. The book offers a thorough examination of a topic that is frequently framed and seen as a major security threat on a local, national, and international scale. Inconsistent state regulations, inadequate international regulatory oversight, and misinformed policy all contribute to the complexity of the issue. It integrates empirical and substantive data and analyses with conceptual approaches to the hawala informal remittance system and its exploitation by criminal and terrorist actors.

Meine Liebe stirbt nicht

BioShield Protocol was written to bridge the gap between theory and operational readiness. It transforms high-level bio security concepts into actionable frameworks, checklists, and strategic models that can be adapted by governments, institutions, and communities alike.
This book is not merely a study of threats-it is a manual for resilience. It provides structured methodologies for anticipating, detecting, preventing, responding to, and recovering from biological incidents, whether natural or deliberate.
The goal is simple yet urgent: to ensure that systems designed to protect life are prepared before a crisis unfolds.

The Untouchables Club - The Final Stops Of The Lolita Express

Crónica del surgimiento, desarrollo y transformaciones del Cártel de las drogas más peligroso de México. El cártel de Sinaloa explica y detalla el mundo del narco: desde los pioneros del negocio como Pedro Avilés, los sicarios desalmados que matan gobernadores como el Gitano, policías corruptos al estilo Guillermo González Calderoni, hasta hechos sorprendentes como la expulsión masiva de chinos durante la segunda década del siglo XX, las primeras rutas trasnacionales de la cocaína, o la fuga de Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán. Aquí todos cuentan su versión sobre el lucrativo tráfico de drogas en Sinaloa, que es la historia misma del narcotráfico en México. Este libro da voz al hijo de un narcotraficante que relata cómo es vivir con ese estigma; también aparece un abogado de la mafia que abre puertas de tribunales y prisiones de máxima seguridad; soldados oaxaqueños que erradican cultivos de mariguana en la sierra de Badiraguato; un comandante guerrillero del ERPI en Guerrero, o un político y empresario millonario de San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. Todos ellos son piezas clave en el mundo del narco y aquí ofrecen testimonios reveladores. La PGR, la DEA y el Ejército mexicano lo hacen a través de expedientes oficiales, algunos publicados por primera vez en este libro. Se da a conocer asimismo la versión directa de capos como Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, el Jefe de Jefes, cuyos escritos de puño y letra acusan a las autoridades de ser las auténticas responsables de crear y organizar la distribución de los llamados cárteles. Diego Enrique Osorno, a través de una ágil narración periodística, nos ofrece el más completo panorama del cártel fundacional del narcotráfico y uno de los más poderosos que han existido en México. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA chronicle of the rise, development, and transformations of Mexico's most dangerous drug cartel. The Sinaloa Cartel explains and details the world of drug trafficking: from the pioneers of the business such as Pedro Avilés, the ruthless sicarios who kill governors like "El Gitano," corrupt police officers in the style of Guillermo González Calderoni, to surprising events such as the mass expulsion of Chinese immigrants during the second decade of the twentieth century, the first transnational cocaine routes, and the escape of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. Here, everyone tells their version of the lucrative drug trade in Sinaloa, which is the very history of drug trafficking in Mexico. This book gives voice to the son of a drug trafficker who recounts what it is like to live with that stigma; it also features a mafia lawyer who opens doors in courtrooms and maximum-security prisons; Oaxacan soldiers who eradicate marijuana crops in the mountains of Badiraguato; a guerrilla commander from the ERPI in Guerrero; and a wealthy politician and businessman from San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. All of them are key players in the world of narcotrafficking, and here they offer revealing testimonies. The PGR, the DEA, and the Mexican Army also speak through official files, some published for the first time in this book. The direct version of kingpins such as Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the "Boss of Bosses," is also made known-his handwritten accounts accuse the authorities of being the true architects behind the creation and organization of the so-called cartels. Through agile journalistic narration, Diego Enrique Osorno offers the most complete overview of the foundational cartel of Mexican drug trafficking and one of the most powerful to ever exist in Mexico.

El Cártel de Sinaloa / The Sinaloa Cartel

For twenty years, the men who ran it knew.
They knew when they wrote the letters. They knew when they signed the transfer orders. They knew when they sent the checks and made the survivors sign their silence away with them. And every single time, across six religious institutions and three continents, they chose the same thing: protect the institution, not the child.
This is not a book about one bad priest, one corrupt pastor, or one broken denomination. It is the documented, unbroken record of how Catholic bishops, Southern Baptist executives, Jehovah's Witness elders, and the leadership of the Boy Scouts of America each built, refined, and defended an almost identical machine of concealment, decade after decade, continent after continent, while the public was told there was nothing to see.
Drawing on the actual grand jury findings that shook Pennsylvania, the secret Vatican report on Cardinal McCarrick, the leaked internal list the Southern Baptist Convention tried to keep buried, and sworn courtroom testimony from Jehovah's Witness survivors who broke a rule of silence decades old, this book reconstructs the paper trail these institutions never meant for the world to read.
You will meet the bishop who received a written warning and promoted the priest anyway. The cardinal who shared a bed with seminarians and called it hospitality. The denomination that kept a secret list of names for sixteen years while insisting, in public, that no such list existed. And the lawyers, reporters, and survivors who spent decades tearing that machine apart, one subpoenaed file at a time.
This is not speculation. Every case, every date, and every settlement figure in these pages comes from a courtroom, a grand jury, or an institution's own admission. The story reads like a thriller because the truth, once assembled in full, is more gripping than fiction could ever be.
If you have ever wondered how an institution can know and still do nothing, this book will show you exactly how, and exactly what it finally took to make them stop.

How Denominations Protected Perpetrators Across Decades and Jurisdictions

Some crimes make headlines. Others shape history from the shadows. 
Lord of Money is the second book in Shadow Crimes, Tony Cortés' investigative series uncovering the true stories hidden where organized crime, intelligence operations, politics, and power converge. 
This investigation took sixteen years. 
It began with the voice of Ramón Milián Rodríguez and evolved into an exhaustive search through forgotten archives, court records, historical documents, and hundreds of hours of interviews with attorneys, investigators, witnesses, and those who lived these extraordinary events firsthand.
The investigation that gave birth to this story was acquired three separate times for television adaptation. Each time, the project vanished before ever reaching the screen.
This is far more than a story about drug trafficking, espionage, or political conspiracies. It is the dissection of a man who lived where money, ideology, intelligence, and violence converged.
Who is Ramón Milián Rodríguez, really?
How does a brilliant Cuban exile become one of the most influential financial figures ever linked to the Medellín Cartel? Where does patriotism end and criminality begin?
Milián became one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures in American criminal history. After spending twenty-five years in federal prison, one question continues to haunt investigators, journalists, historians, and the public alike:
Where is the Medellín Cartel's money?
Perhaps the answer lies within these pages.
Or perhaps some truths remain hidden because they are simply too dangerous to uncover.

Lord of Money

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.
