A leading authority on global organized crime, Misha Glenny is a renowned BBC journalist and historian whose non-fiction writing is frighteningly truthful and gripping. A hallmark of his work are the first-hand interviews he has conducted with criminals around the world—whether in Bombay, Bulgaria or Brazil—who are involved in fraud, drugs, extortion and prostitution. In McMafia, Glenny talked with those responsible for the spread of transnational crime after the breakup of the Soviet bloc. Now, with DarkMarket, he has turned his piercing eye to cybercrime and the organized hackers that are the new breed of criminal. In a world where we bank online, shop online, date online, indeed live online, his investigation uncovers the criminal minds that can bring that world to its knees.
