Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. The Chinese Mafia has always been a mystery to both law enforcement and the media--part of an unapproachable and unfathomable conglomeration of secret societies operating worldwide. To this day, though, police and prosecutors insist that Johnny Kon's own secret organization--the Big Circle--is public enemy number one. Distinguished journalist John Sack spent twelve years fearlessly shadowing and befriending the most powerful crime lord in the Chinese Mafia, and introduces us to this secret world and its top criminal mastermind, reporting from the homes, hotel rooms, crime scenes, and jail cells of Johnny and his gang, all reported with their full cooperation. From Kon's escape from poverty in China and his golden years as a smuggler during the Vietnam war, THE DRAGONHEAD traces Johnny's rapid rise to power and chronicles the growth of his heroin cartel, as it smuggles a billion dollars worth of drugs into the United States. Sack also shows the humanity behind the previously impenetrable wall of the Chinese and American underworlds, rife with shocking crimes, bound by unforgiving codes of honor. At once a loyal husband and father and a ruthless crime boss, Johnny Kon is by turns fascinating and repellent, but ultimately unforgettable. As new, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. A71.…
