Summary

Joined by award-winning Mexican journalist Luis N�jera, leading organized-crime author Peter Edwards introduces a motley assortment of millennial bikers, gangsters and Mafia whose bloody trail of murders and schemes gone wrong led to the arrival in Canada of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations: the drug cartels of Mexico。

A man watching the Euro Cup on a restaurant patio is shot dead on a busy Sunday afternoon in Toronto。 Another dies in a sidewalk ambush just outside a bus-tling college campus。 Two men in a Vancouver hotel lobby are gunned down in an attack that sends an American soccer star scrambling for cover。 In Mexico, a Canadian is killed at a Nuevo Vallarta coffee shop, his death barely registering amidst the terrifying death tolls of President Calder�n's war on drugs and the cartels' response; while a Montreal cop is beaten within an inch of his life in a Playa del Carmen nightclub。 An infamous heckler from an NBA Toronto Raptors game turns up dead in a bullet-riddled car in a midtown lane-way。 Throughout the 2010s, these and other disparate acts of violence entered the public awareness like iso-lated tragedies--but there was nothing isolated about them。
In this masterly investigation, veteran journalists Peter Edwards and Luis N�jera introduce readers to the common cause of a near-decade of chaos。 Meet the Wolfpack, millennial-aged gangsters from across the spectrum of Canada's underworld。 Vying to fast-track their way into the criminal void left by the death of Montreal godfather Vito Rizzuto, the Wolfpack sought advantage in a steady supply of cocaine from El Chapo Guzm�n's Sinaloa cartel, among the deadliest and most far-reaching of criminal organizations。 The juniors had just stepped into the big leagues。
This is the roiling landscape of The Wolfpack, a brilliant examination of a time of criminal disruption and rapid adaptation, when one gang's unchecked ambition unwittingly gave away the most hotly contested corner of the Canadian underworld without a fight。 Brazen criminal disruptors or entitled upstarts looking to get rich without paying their dues--whatever you think of them, you will never forget the Wolfpack。
