Chasing Shadows

Chasing Shadows is a compulsive true-crime thriller following the stories of three very different men: Jack Kelly is a veteran US DEA agent tracking the dirty money of dangerously powerful figures. Salvatore Pititto is a Mafia capo in Italy working on the biggest cocaine deal of his career. Mustafa Badreddine is a master bomb-maker dispatched to Syria to carry out his final deadly mission. All three are players in an interlinked drama of drug trafficking, money laundering and international terrorism. And each man has devoted his whole life to an institution - the DEA, the Mafia and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah - that will eventually turn on them. Based on hundreds of interviews and wiretap evidence from five different countries, Chasing Shadows draws us into a secret world of greed, ambition and betrayal. Taking the reader deep into a dangerous and unknown world, it exposes the dark side of globalisation.
