As the world goes about its daily business, criminals and cops engage in a deadly battle of wits. This book delves into the crimes that police have to deal with day after day. Murderers, hitmen, kidnappers, and drug dealers all feature in this collection of true crime stories. Take the drug dealer who walked out of a restaurant bragging that he's killed a manunaware that his fellow diner was an undercover policeman. Or the young mother, whose death was written off as suicide, but which subsequent investigation proved to be something much more sinister.

For the last 10 years, a war has raged on once-safe suburban streets that has stunned the world. The killings have been particularly callous and brutal: mothers gunned down with their babies sleeping beside them, fathers killed in front of their children, and couples shot down in cold blood. This is true crime at its most bloody, surreal, and terrifying.

John Moran and Carl Williams were the two biggest rival drug barons in Australia. They certainly weren’t partners, but they weren’t sworn enemies. After a meeting over a drug money dispute went sour, Moran shot Carl in the stomach, but decided not to finish the job. It turned out to be the biggest mistake of his life, as Carl became hell bent on revenge. Within months, most of the Moran family and a host of underworld figures would die in an astonishing spate of revenge killings that shook the public and the police to the core. Murder, greed, drugs, sex, and corruption abound in this true story that reads like a piece of gangster fiction. This is the amazing story of a powerful man who did things his way to the bitter end.
