Gangster

More about the book

Gangster is the critically acclaimed biography of John Gilligan, the biggest drugs trafficker to emerge from the Irish underworld. The book is an extraordinarily account of how a young Dubliner became a multi-millionaire criminal. It uses first-hand interviews with Gilligan, his thugs, friends, family, enemies, the IRA and police. It tells of violence, kidnapping, shootings, espionage, dealing and the fight for control in the Irish drug trade. Shocking, fascinating and frightening, Gangster also tells the story behind the murder of Veronica Guerin, the crime reporter.
