Gangster's Paradise

The much anticipated follow-up to the bestseller that exposed the escalation of organised crime
in New Zealand.

Gangster's Paradise is about drugs, guns, gangs and money. Lots of money.
A gang which took over a small rural town. A police officer shot and killed in a routine traffic
stop. A port-worker who helped a gang whisk a shipping container off a wharf in the middle of
the night. A crew of corrupt baggage handlers smuggling meth into the country during Covid
lockdowns. A shooting inside a 5-star hotel in broad daylight. Turf wars, retaliation, and
retribution: new gangs like the Mongols and Comancheros have brought with them better
connections with international syndicates, challenging the established gangs like the Head
Hunters – so dominant for many years – who have had to up their game in response.
Jared Savage's bestselling book Gangland was about the evolution of gangs in New Zealand.
Gangster's Paradise is about the deadly escalation.
