Another dies in a sidewalk ambush just outside a bustling 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'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 laneway. Throughout the 2010s, these and other disparate acts of violence entered the public awareness like isolated tragedies--but there was nothing isolated about them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this masterly investigation, veteran journalists Peter Edwards and Luis N疔era 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疣's Sinaloa cartel, among the deadliest and most far-reaching of criminal organizations. The juniors had just stepped into the big leagues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the roiling landscape of \u003ci\u003eThe Wolfpack\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Edwards, Luis Najera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0735275416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780735275416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Books Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.95h x 5.12w x 0.87d","brand":"Peter Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981665239295,"sku":"9780735275416","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fe51f8f-b7c4-4d81-8e73-ec6a88e022c5.jpg?v=1683256852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wolfpack-peter-edwards-9780735275416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
