The Wolfpack

En savoir plus sur le livre

Joined by an award-winning Mexican journalist, leading organized-crime author Peter Edwards explores the successors to Vito Rizzuto's criminal empire, revealing a chaotic mix of millennial bikers, gangsters, and Mafia figures. Following Rizzuto's death in 2013, a new generation of criminals emerged to seize control of his territory. These young disruptors targeted the aging Mafia and 'Ndrangheta, who were still led by seasoned veterans steeped in tradition. Unlike their predecessors, the millennials, known as the 'Wolfpack,' grew up in a tech-savvy, socially connected criminal landscape. They represent Canada’s most diverse generation, creating an inclusive yet ruthless organization. Their overwhelming sense of entitlement and bravado astonished rivals but left them vulnerable to law enforcement and the powerful global crime networks they naively believed they could navigate. The Sinaloa and Los Zetas drug cartels, dominant forces in the narcotics trade, recognized the naivety of these newcomers and moved into Canada to exploit the situation. In a time of chaos and shifting power dynamics, disruptors emerge as rulers. But are they the new order of the underworld or merely the latest challengers in the aftermath of Rizzuto's reign? The bloody answers lie within the narrative.
