The shocking, revealing and violent story of Ireland's first ever international crime family

The Cartel is the definitive account of how a working class Dublin lad rose to figure on Europol's top 10 list of criminal godfathers. It outlines how Christy Kinahan crossed borders at will to send drugs and arms all over Europe, dealing decisively and something lethally with anyone who got in his way, while remaining beyond the reach of the authorities.

The Cartel also explores the recent events that have brought the Kinahan gang centre stage. It explains how once-firm allies have now turned on each other in the most shocking criminal feud Ireland has ever seen.
