Over the past two years, Conor Woodman has travelled the globe on the trail of the world''s most profitable, most unpleasant criminals. In Sharks, Conor leads us through the underworlds of cities such as Bogota and Jerusalem, unravelling the stories and uncovering the characters behind them. Action-packed adrenaline journalism is Conor''s signature, and it''s exactly what he delivers here. Sharks is his most daring reportage to date, reliving how he put aside his safety in the course of one breathtaking encounter after another, assembling a picture of a world you never knew existed.
'At turns astonishing and frightening... peppered with great wit' Misha GlennyCurious about the modern love affair with true crime and criminal personalities, investigative reporter Conor Woodman spent four years exploring the hidden depths of dynamic cities across the globe. Sharks takes us on a journey through the lawless backstreets of cities as diverse as Mumbai, Bogotá, New Orleans, Barcelona and London. In each he uncovers the people and the scams that keep the global black market economy moving. From dice games in steamy southern states to torture in British suburbs, from the sharp end of currency counterfeiting in Buenos Aires to the terrible truth behind antique forgery in the Middle East, Conor investigates who really runs these cities and how local corruption allows them to thrive.
