The Cartel
€13.18
By the time the Kinahan cartel first shot to public attention in May 2010, Christy Kinahan and his sons Daniel and Christopher, Jr. were already among the richest men in Europe, with an estimated joint worth of 750 million. Since then, the Kinahans have become household names. They were already familiar to European police forces for over a decade. This is the definitive account of how a working class Dublin lad who failed his Leaving Cert rose to figure on Europol’s top 10 list of criminal godfathers, employing language and networking skills to rival any CEO along the way.

The No.1 Bestseller
The definitive account of the rise of the Kinahan gang and the deadly feud that shocked a nation and brought the gang to the edge of destruction.
__________
February 2016. A daring gun attack in the Regency Hotel brings Dubliner Christy Kinahan and his international criminal cartel to a horrified public's attention.
Kinahan's son Daniel, the target of the attack, escapes. A trusted henchman dies at the scene. And the deadly rivalry between the Kinahans and the family and associates of the veteran Dublin gangster Gerry Hutch becomes all-out war. It results in a never-before-seen level of international cooperation - including Irish, UK and US police forces - to topple the Kinahan gang.
The Cartel offers a unique behind-the-scenes account of how the Kinahan organised crime organisation got so big, and why a local feud sowed the seeds for the gang's destruction.
