Böcker av Mark Langan

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I'D SEEN IT ALL... In his award-winning book Busting Bad Guys, narcotics sergeant Mark Langan told gripping street stories about bookies, drug dealers, and ladies of the night. Now Langan tells more true-crime stories and those of his fellow Omaha police officers in blue-Sharp-shooting snipers who made a split-second life-and-death decision in Omaha's most infamous hostage standoffThe bust that took down the Hells Angels and their mega-caches of methamphetamine, money, and weaponsA bizarre stakeout to investigate satanic animal sacrifices in a haunted parkCold-blooded serial killers and the case for (and against) the death penaltyFirsthand accounts from meth tweakers who chase the devil's pipe (and the missing suitcase filled with kilos of cocaine)The inside story about brutal blood sports: cockfighting and dogfightingAnd a kindergarten class's best show-and-tell

Langan reclaims neo-colonialism as an analytical force for making sense of the failure of `development' strategies in many African states in an era of free market globalisation.
