<p>It's 1989 and the cops are on the take and the crims are on the make. They are kings of the Cross. They run the street that put the sin in Sin City. The Golden Mile. Kim Hollingsworth is a policeman's daughter who wants to follow daddy's footsteps. She's a stripper and a hooker but that's no problem - until she blows the whistle on bent cops who think they can stand over her. They are wrong. Then there's 'Teflon John' Ibrahim, the rising star who made his name looking after the Bayeh brothers. And there are Trevor Haken, Chook Fowler and the other Kings Cross cops who treat the street as their playground - and play as if there's no tomorrow. But, in 1995, tomorrow comes: the Wood Royal Commission takes on the Black Knights in the police force. The result is mayhem. Underbelly: The Golden Mile is the story of the collapse of a gloriously corrupt empire, of the chaos that follows and the ultimate victory of strong and honest police. A story seen through the eyes of some of the most charming, corrupt, deadly and sexy people of the time. In the end, the police win control of the most infamous strip in Australia. For now.</p>

Robin Bowles

The domestic popularity of cats grew during Victorian times. This book allows the reader to make a brief visit to this magical world of "catland" once again, as it examines scraps, greetings cards, postcards, advertisements, book illustrations and prints from the period 1880 to 1920. The book gives a pictorial glimpse of feline life as portrayed by artists such as Helena Maguire, Louis Wain and Henrietta Ronner. Cats can be seen at play throughout the seasons - ice-skating in January through holidaying at the seaside in summer, to apple-bobbing at Hallow'een.
