Wensley Clarkson’s insider account of the emergence of numerous organized 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, the busiest river crossing in Europe which provides easy access to much of the south east of England, including London.
 
Since first investigating organized crime more than thirty years ago, Wensley Clarkson has witnessed enormous changes in the UK underworld. For The Crossing, he has entered these brand new Brexit influenced criminal badlands and witnessed up close the audacious, sophisticated, and far-reaching foreign gangs who threaten to paralyze post Brexit Britain by introducing the world to a chilling new breed of organized crime.
