"Death Dealers" is a gritty, street-level view of how gangs are willing to stop at nothing to grab their cut of the world's $500-billion-a-year illegal drug market-and who pays the price for their greed. Using his extraordinary connections and years of investigative journalism experience, Yves Lavigne hunts the hunted, from an increasingly violent Chinatown in Toronto to the lair of New York's most successful heroin dealer and beyond to the shark-infested waters on the Florida coast. Black street gangs in Los Angeles, Colombians, Vietnamese street gangs, Jamaican posses, prison gangs and the ever-present biker gangs are all part of Lavigne's world, where paranoia, terror and human carnage are the norm. At the same time, he reveals the high-tech world of the crime fighters, former Green Berets and Vietnam vets, who would like to even the score.
