Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld Wars
5 journalers for this copy...
"Another day, another underworld funeral. In Melbourne, generations of gangsters have lived and died by the creed "We catch and kill our own". But now the violence bubbling under the surface has spilled into open war on the streets. This is the story of the gangsters, the hitmen and the police who deal with them in the deadliest game of all."
Sending to catbot as a RABCK - enjoy!
Part of Sabavana's "Send an enormous parcel of books to CatBot out of awsome generosity and enthusiasm" RABCK!! THANK YOU! :D :D Really looking forward to it, as I loved the "Underbelly" series.
Edit: 16/1/09 - This wasn't as good as I expected, so I didn't read more than the first 80 pages. The style of writing was a bit dry, and rather confusing. I think I was expecting the show in a book :)
