In a quiet
little town in northern France, an improbable sequence of events takes place
which will go on to transform completely the struggle against organised crime
in Europe. It all starts when the French cybercrime police hacks into an
encrypted service called Encrochat: suddenly anonymity crumbles and murder
contracts and drug deals become visible on the screen. Police are able to
follow communications between drug couriers, gang leaders, and teenage hitmen
in real time.
To save
lives, the police must respond quickly, but must also be careful not to reveal
that they’re listening in. As unexpected arrests of criminals grow increasingly
frequent, criminal networks come into view, with nodes dotted all across
Europe, all prepared to do whatever it takes to gain control of the drug trade.
One name in particular will come to haunt the investigators: the Kurdish Fox, a
notorious gang leader with ambitions to become the Pablo Escobar of
Scandinavia.

Salihu’s gripping story lifts the veil on a shadowy underworld swathed in
secrecy but responsible for some of today’s most violent crimes.

REVIEWS
“No one has
covered Sweden's violent gang wars with as much insight, nuance and empathy as
Diamant Salihu. His book is a cinematic tale of shady characters, blood feuds
and international intrigue, all set in a Scandinavian welfare state fraying at
the edges. A must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of European
organized crime.”Sune Engel Rasmussen, Security Correspondent for the Wall
Street Journal and author of Twenty Years: Hope, War and the Betrayal of an
Afghan Generation“Mandatory reading for anyone who wants to understand the
mechanisms of gang crime … with an energy that makes it hard to put
down.”Jönköpings-Posten
