'At turns astonishing and frightening... peppered with great wit' Misha Glenny

Curious about the modern love affair with true crime and criminal personalities, investigative reporter Conor Woodman spent four years exploring the hidden depths of dynamic cities across the globe.

Sharks takes us on a journey through the lawless backstreets of cities as diverse as Mumbai, Bogotá, New Orleans, Barcelona and London. In each he uncovers the people and the scams that keep the global black market economy moving.

From dice games in steamy southern states to torture in British suburbs, from the sharp end of currency counterfeiting in Buenos Aires to the terrible truth behind antique forgery in the Middle East, Conor investigates who really runs these cities and how local corruption allows them to thrive.

Conor Woodman has been a producer, reporter and presenter in factual television for many years. His series include Scam City, Around the World in 80 Trades, Watchdog and Hunting Nazi Treasure. He has written two previously books, The Adventure Capitalist and Unfair Trade, which was longlisted for the Orwell prize. True Appaloosa, his first feature length documentary film, premiered at the Sun Valley Film Festival in 2015 and aired on BBC4 as The Secret Horse to wide critical acclaim.
