What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Kinahan Assassins is the extraordinary story of how the killers used by Ireland’s most notorious drug gang, the Kinahan Cartel, were taken down.

After an audacious assassination attempt on boss Daniel Kinahan's life, the Kinahan Cartel recruited an unprecedented number of killers to retaliate against their attackers, the Hutch gang. Kinahan Assassins is the compelling behind-the-scenes account of one man's thirst for vengeance and how it proved fatal for his organization.

Kinahan Assassins has the stories of the men who killed for the cartel - including vulnerable drug addicts, a former British soldier, an MMA fighter and an invisible 'Mr Nobody' who acted as a cartel quartermaster - as well as those who gave them orders.

And it details how, one by one, the hit teams were identified, surveilled and captured by the Irish police. Featuring new and exclusive material – conversations from wiretaps, insights from gardaí at the heart of the operations and interviews with the loved ones of innocents caught in the crossfire – Kinahan Assassins is a startling and gripping read that throws a new light on the war on organized crime.
