Book excerpt: The Turkish mafia dominates the world's heroin trade. Customs officers estimate they supply 80% of the 'smack' that reaches Britain. Yet they have remained a mysterious and deadly group, little understood. In this landmark book, the authors trace the intriguing history of the babas, or godfathers, and reveal for the first time the historic conclave in September 1980 when the babas carved up Europe between them and changed the face of the international drug trade. Today, the babas have moved into the ecstasy trade and people smuggling. This is their untold story.
