Summary

The Crossing is a groundbreaking, unprecedented look inside the UK's newest and most chilling underworld. Wensley Clarkson's insider account reveals the emergence of numerous organised crime networks more powerful and violent than anything ever seen before in this country. These often foreign gangs run elaborate international systems dealing in drugs, people smuggling, prostitution and money laundering, and they have gained a huge foothold in the UK underworld thanks to The Crossing.

Since first investigating organised crime more than 30 years ago, Clarkson has witnessed enormous changes in the UK underworld. For The Crossing, he has entered the brand-new Brexit influenced criminal badlands and witnessed up close the audacious, sophisticated and far-reaching foreign gangs who threaten to paralyse post-Brexit Britain by introducing the world to a new breed of organised crime.

Highly recommended for British true crime fans

an excellent expose into the recent gangland evolution on the streets in the South East of England.

At the time of the writing of this review many oligarchs have just fled britain and I wonder if this will change the script in years to come. To fully understand this comment have a listen to The Crossing and then come back to this review and make your minds up.

excellent narration and a very well written and educational listen.

A chilling story of a place very close to home.

Have always known that the area was infiltrated by organised crime, but this is a real eye opener. Very worrying to learn the extent of underworld activity of foreign crime and how it has taken over from local criminals.

London’s falling

Decent book as are most of WC books. About time someone mentioned how the government and police have no idea how to handle foreign gangs in this once Great Country, seen as tho the MSM fail to ever mention it.(not sure why he tried to blame brexit at the end tho)

Brilliant and Shocking

What a really true insight to the underground drug cartels in London and Kent. Truly shocking but also enlightening. Very gripping all the way through.

Mind blowing

Having lived in Essex all my life, 50 years, and being a European truck driver for 20 of those, this book is not only a frightening eye opener, it just confirms a lot of what I have ‘seen’ especially the this last 10 years.

A very compelling listen, and exceptional narrating, my book of the year so far.

I could probably say more, but probably best not too.....
