Krátky popis
'Reads like a mashup of The Godfather and Chinatown, complete with
gun battles, a ruthless kingpin and a mountain of cash. Except that
it's all true.' - TimeIn this thrilling panorama of real-life
events, the bestselling author of Empire of Pain investigates a
secret world run by a surprising criminal: a charismatic
middle-aged grandmother, who from a tiny noodle shop in New York's
Chinatown, managed a multimillion-dollar business smuggling people.
In The Snakehead, Patrick Radden Keefe reveals the inner workings
of Cheng Chui Ping aka Sister Ping's complex empire and recounts
the decade-long FBI investigation that eventually brought her
down.He follows an often incompetent and sometimes corrupt INS as
it pursues desperate immigrants risking everything to come to
America, and along the way he paints a stunning portrait of a
generation of undocumented immigrants and the intricate underground
economy that sustains and exploits them. Grand in scope yet
propulsive in narrative force, The Snakehead is both a
kaleidoscopic crime story and a brilliant exploration of the
ironies of immigration in America. 'A powerful piece of reportage
about the violent underworld of New York's Chinatown' - The Times
