Publisher's Synopsis
For the past ten years a secret and deadly alliance has gradually been formed between some of the most dangerous and vicious criminals in the world. Three extremely powerful groups have actively joined forces: the South American drug cartels, the Italian mafia and Russian organised crime. Together they make up an international threat, the scope and power of which are unstoppable. Occasional hints of their activities have surfaced but never before has the true extent of their plans been revealed. Now, in THE MERGER, Jeffrey Robinson outlines the worldwide network of illegal deals that are almost impossible to trace let alone stop: joint ventures in heroin trafficking, counterfeit currency, arms dealing, money laundering and murder. From London to Moscow, Miami to Bogota, the reach of this 'unholy alliance' stretches across the globe.
