This is Compelling

I'm reading McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Underworld on my kindle. Waiting to be read there is Amitav Ghosh's River of Smoke, the follow-up toe Sea of Poppies. But I will only allow myself to turn to that once my first draft is done. Meanwhile, whoever is interested in organised crime, do read McMafia. Misha Glenny (special interest: he was a colleague and friend when I was at the BBC) has truly been round the world for this one. He tells his story well, of course, as a good journo should, but his analysis is particularly interesting. And he got people to talk to him. Go for it. Come the time, if I remember, it will get many stars - for what that's worth.
