I've been trying to get into this for too long, so it's time to give up. I only got as far as 34% but it just wasn't speaking to me. Previous books by the author pulled me right in from the start but I can't say the same for this. I can't and won't rate it. Maybe I'll try again in a few months. Perhaps the times are just too dismal to read about the ruthlessness of drug cartels.

There is no one more suitable to tell this story than highly acclaimed award-winning author and Toronto Star's organized crime reporter Peter Edwards alongside award-winning Mexican journalist Luis Najera.
During the 2010's, a decade of anarchy, a group of gangsters (The Wolfpack) strive to quicken their way into the criminal void after the death of Montreal godfather Vito Rizzuto by becoming involved with a steady supply of cocaine. Not all goes as planned.
The authors write a riveting and comprehensive book detailing the workings and missteps of the Mafia, drug traffickers, gangs, corrupt officials and many violent deaths leading to the arrival in Canada of one of the most dangerous organizations: the drug cartels of Mexico.
This book is an exemplary investigation of criminal eradication in the Canadian underworld.
An explosive, dynamic and well-researched piece of Canadian crime history!

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.
