About this listen

Chronicling the rise and fall of Sex Money Murder, one of the most violent and notorious gangs of its era, and of the dedicated detectives and prosecutors struggling to stem the tide of violence, reporter Jonathan Green creates a visceral and devastating portrait of a New York City borough.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Bronx had one of the highest per capita murder rates in the country. The reason was simple: as the use of crack cocaine surged, replacing heroin as the high of choice, dealers and gangs staked claims to territory and consumers through intimidation and murder, and families found themselves fractured by crime and incarceration. Based on years of research and extraordinary access to former gang members, Green creates an epic character-driven narrative, drawing on first-person interviews, police reports, and court transcripts to offer a unique and engrossing work of gritty urban reportage. Magisterial in its scope, Sex Money Murder offers an extraordinary perspective on modern-day America.

Excellent , shame it’s wasn’t narrated by author as the narration was a little bland at times

A really well written piece of journalism focussing on the life stories

First of all I can see that some would criticise the performance for having somebody who sounds like a white American reading the book but the fact it was written by a white English man negates that in my opinion.

Really well researched, accessible and put in context. I suspect this will be a book I come back to in a few months.

Really interesting story
