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. __________

Kenny, Newstalk 'Riveting' Irish Times Meet the Wilsons - the
deadliest family in crime Brothers Eric, Keith and John Wilson,
their cousin Alan, and nephew Luke shared a trade - assassination.
Working for Ireland's criminal gangs they brought bloodshed and
chaos to the streets. The Wilsons were not choosy about their
targets. Hutches, Real IRA chiefs or random opponents from pub rows
- they were all the same to them. Nor were they picky about motives
- as long as the price was right, they asked no questions. The
Hitmen is the shocking story of how a family cornered the market in
intimidation and vengeance. It details the terrible cost in human
suffering, particularly the death of an innocent teenage girl,
Mariaora Rostas, when she randomly crossed their path. And it
reveals how, one by one, each of the Wilsons was put out of
business. The Hitmen draws on exclusive access to wire taps, case
files and interviews with sources close to the gang who have never
spoken before. No 1 bestselling authors Stephen Breen and Owen
Conlon have written an extraordinary account of a family business
like no other.
