HOW ORGANISED CRIME GOT HOOKED ON DRUGS
Organised crime in Australia is a multi-billion dollar business. It operates every day and in every state. Illegal drugs are its lifeblood; secrecy and extreme violence its hallmarks.
One of the major sources for the TV series Underbelly 2: A tale of two cities, Smack Express takes us into this hidden world and unravels the criminal connections that are at the heart of the Australian drug trade. It names godfathers and gang leaders, big-time traffickers and hired killers, informants, money launderers, politicians and corrupt police. It reveals how the Calabrian Mafia and other crime syndicates in Europe Asia and the Americas have turned Australia into a nexus for international organised crime.
Using a wealth of material, from personal interviews to police wire taps, Clive Small and Tom Gilling fit together the pieces of this frightening and fascinating puzzle. Authoritative and meticulously researched, theirs is the book on organised crime for this generation.
