DIRTY WORK
Author: Glen McNamara
This true story of police corruption and undercover assignments will have you reeling. "
All crime revolves around the financial powerhouse that is the drug trade. And drugs
and paedophilia go together like a hand in a glove."
Glen McNamara joined the NSW Police Force when he was 17 and was sworn in as a constable at 19. A career as a detective beckoned and soon Glen was tracking down the notorious Warren Lanfranchi who was dealing drugs with Neddy Smith, and disgraced cop Roger Rogerson who was making deals in Redfern.
This is Inner Sydney in the heat of the 1980s and the cash and drugs are flowing freely.

The compelling story of the attempted murder in 1984 of undercover policeman Michael Drury exposes deep corruption in the NSW Police Force.
The attempted murder in 1984 of undercover policeman Michael Drury - shot while in his kitchen feeding his baby daughter - has been labelled the 'lowest of low' in Australian criminal annals. The compelling ABC TV mini-series Blue Murder brings this dramatic crime back into the spotlight. The case involves accusations of bribery, widespread corruption, betrayal and collusion and provides a rare insight into the mechanics of police culture. Former Detective-Sergeant Roger Rogerson's part in the affair is documented and reveals the intense struggle for power that existed in the NSW police force. That struggle - the pitting of one kind of policeman against another - has had far reaching consequences.
Written in a pacy style and unfolding like a whodunit, Line Of Fire is a compelling story
THE DARK SIDE
by Roger Rogerson
"...In The Dark Side, Rogerson decided to ignore ‘the host of allegations levelled against him: I would stick with what I knew to be the truth… what follows is more a collection of anecdotes, a selected memoir, than an autobiography’..."
Confessions of a Crooked Cop: From the Golden Mile to Witness Protection
Sean Padraic as told by Trevor Haken
Trevor Haken - corrupt cop turned supergrass and now inspiration for UNDERBELLY 3 - tells his story in this explosive book.
Detective Sergeant Trevor Haken was one of the infamous Golden Mile’s most crooked cops. Now he lives in hiding, in a hell of his own creation.
Graduating from small bribes to stealing money and receiving kickbacks from drug dealers, Haken became an informant for the Wood Royal Commission into corruption in the New South Wales Police Service. The Commission’s findings sent shockwaves through the police force and beyond, resulting in the dismissal and resignation of many officers, and the reorganisation of policing in the state.
