Mainstream is delighted to have acquired world rights to THE TURKISH CONNECTION by Graham Johnson. Graham Johnson is the UK's leading True Crime writer and bestselling author of POWDERWARS ('The best gangster book of modern times' - Donal MacIntyre). In 2007 we will be building on his reputation and promoting all of his books with a major marketing campaign. DRUGLORD and FOOTBALL AND GANGSTERS will be released in paperback with new books, THE DEVIL, Britain's Most Feared Underworld Taxman and THE TURKISH CONNECTION, Inside the World's Biggest Heroin Gang coming out in February and October respectively.
'The Turkish Connection' is the secret society that controls distribution of 70 to 80 percent of the global trade in illegal opiates. No senior members have ever spoken openly about the Turkish Connection before - the gang has a code of silence more deadly than their Sicilian brothers - but in this explosive book, a top Turkish boss will blow the lid on what it's like to be an insider in one of the richest, most violent and prolific criminal gangs on the planet.
