About this listen
New Zealand's underworld of organized crime and deadly gangs.
"The best true-crime book of the year by a long stretch." (Steve Braunias, Newsroom)
"A series of rip-snorting yarns about gangs, drugs, fancy cars, wads of cash, violence, and guns - Aotearoa New Zealand style." (Simon Bridges)
New Zealand is now one of the most lucrative illicit drug markets in the world. Organized crime is about making money. It's a business. But over the past 20 years, the dealers have graduated from motorcycle gangs to Asian crime syndicates and now the most dangerous drug lords in the world - the Mexican cartels.
In Gangland, award-winning investigative reporter Jared Savage shines a light into New Zealand's rising underworld of organized crime and violent gangs.
The brutal execution of a husband and wife; the undercover cop who infiltrated a casino VIP lounge; the midnight fishing trip that led to the country's biggest cocaine bust; the gangster who shot his best friend in a motorcycle shop: These stories go behind the headlines and open the door to an invisible world - a world where millions of dollars are made, life is cheap, and allegiances change like the flick of a switch.

Topical and Necessary
Gangland is an excellent read. Entertaining, provocative and educational. I was either left breathless and shocked from the gun barrel anecdotes or lightly amused even laughing out loud from time to time at the lighter images painted by the author. I wonder how many readers will think 'I had no idea' about this underworld that surrounds us? Thanks so much for the Summer read Jared.

Well written and narration
This is such a good book, the research and flow of the information. Is excellent. The issues are serious and quite unbelievable how such a small country has such a voracious appetite for drugs and violence.
