Gangland Sydney

With its intake of English criminals in the 18th and 19th centuries, Sydney had a ready-made criminal class in operation.

Under examination is Sydney’s notorious crime hotspot Kings Cross as well as the role of the New South Wales police force in both helping and hindering the growth of Sydney’s criminal empires. Anyone interested in true crime will appreciate this meticulously researched chronicle.
