A compelling narrative written by a former undercover police operative, this memoir offers personal insight into the inner workings of the Mafia and some of the most notorious crimes in Australian history. Posing as a dodgy art dealer, Colin McLaren eventually maneuvered his way into Godfather Antonio Romeo’s band of mafiosi and immersed himself within their world. This account of that period details the listening devices, wire taps, and drug deals, and the delicate balance between staying sane and staying alive. Chronicling two of the bloodiest decades in organized crime, this remarkable record offers a fascinating view of the blurring of identities, the conflicting loyalties, and the strain on family that is part of the difficult nature of undercover work. pp. x, 291 True Crime #0120
