English Summary/英文概要：

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这本充满震撼力且具有开创性的书中，米夏•格勒尼将带领我们进入到国际犯罪组织的世界中去。三年来，他记录的故事中包括乌克兰的军火走私贩，迪拜的洗钱犯，加拿大的毒品联合组织，巴西的计算机罪犯，日本的敲诈犯，等等。在他调查这个阴暗面的过程中，他曾与无数的歹徒，警察，以及犯罪集团的受害者对话，研究那些残忍的毒品需求者，被贩卖的妇女，非法劳工，以及五大洲的武装跨越。
作者的旅程开始于发生在英国富人区的一起震惊而又令人费解的谋杀案，故事通常是令人毛骨悚然，有时又振奋人心，奇特却又偶尔带点滑稽的色彩。但总体来说，他们构建了一副如今占了世界GDP 20%的黑暗经济的画面。犯罪组织以远远超出我们想象的方式深入我们的生活。
本书揭开了现今犯罪的本质，同时，对于全球化的阴谋，提出了现今司法对于非法与合法界限的划分并不明了，并且提出，普通的警察作业方式，已经不适于处理源于贫穷的犯罪，应逐渐将贫富明确划分出来。

For anyone who wants to understand the 21st century, this illuminating and page-turning book is essential reading
Emma Thompsonz
In this well-researched and riveting account, Glenny does for crime what he did for the Balkans. He dissects the international criminal organizations that run much of the world’s economy and explains how the criminal underworld has both benefited from and contributed to globalization
Joseph Stiglitz
"Behind every great fortune," said Balzac, "there lies a great crime." Misha Glenny has updated this aperçu for our own time.
Christopher Hitchens
Former BBC World correspondent Glenny (The Balkans, 1804–1999) presents a riveting and chilling journey through the myriad criminal syndicates flourishing in our increasingly globalized world, which make up as much as 20% of global GNP. Tracing the growth of organized crime—ranging from the burgeoning sex trade in volatile, postcommunist Bulgaria to elaborate Internet frauds in Nigeria—Glenny expertly combines interviews with key players, economic studies and sociological analysis. He argues that the chaos and political upheaval following the demise of communism in Eastern Europe, along with increasing demand in the West and the easy flow of money and people provided the perfect opportunity for organized crime to gain a foothold on the dark side of the globalizing economy. Glenny’s achievement is in introducing readers to the less familiar aspects of global crime, from Kazakhstan’s "caviar mafia" to the flourishing marijuana trade in British Columbia. Consequently, his interview subjects are equally varied: sex slaves in Tel Aviv, a co-conspirator in the deadly 1993 Mumbai bombings and top Washington policy makers share the pages. Readers yearning for a deeper understanding of the real-life, international counterparts to The Sopranos need look no further than Glenny’s engrossing study.-Publishers’ Weekly

MCMAFIA commissioned for major TV series by the BBC.

Misha Glenny’s internationally best-selling book, MCMAFIA: Seriously Organised Crime, has been commissioned for TV by the BBC, who are aiming to rival The Godfather and The Sopranos with a globe-hopping drama set in the world of organised crime. Hossein Amini (Drive) and James Watkins (The Woman in Black), will head the writing team.

Production will begin in summer next year, with broadcast likely to be in Spring 2017.

McMafia will tell the story of the near ￡1bn “global gang war” through the eyes of a Russian family living in exile in London.

The BBC is hopeful that the series, expected to be six episodes, could be the first of many, with each episode likely to cost more than ￡2m. With a multinational cast still to be confirmed, programme-makers also expect the drama to have international appeal and hope for it to become a global hit.
