THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why?
Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever.
There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.
