<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em><strong>Underbelly </strong></em><strong>meets <em>Molly's Game</em> - the true crime investigation that rewrote the story of Melbourne's infamous gangland war and triggered a royal commission.</strong></p> <p/><p>Melbourne's gangland war was an era dominated by murders, stings, hits, drug busts, corruption and greed - inspiring bestselling books and even a popular TV series, <strong><em>Underbelly</em></strong>. It took the police a decade to curtail the violence and bring down criminal kingpins Carl Williams, Tony Mokbel and their accomplices. When the police finally closed the case file, just how they <em>really</em> won the war, with the help of an unlikely police informer, would become a closely guarded secret and its exposure, the biggest legal scandal of our time.</p><p><strong>Lawyer X</strong> is the scandalous, true story of how a promising defence barrister from a privileged background broke all the rules - becoming both police informer and her client's lover - sharing their secrets and shaping the gangland war that led to sensational arrests and convictions. The story of how Nicola Gobbo became Lawyer X, and why, is a compelling study in desperation and determination.</p><p><strong>Lawyer X</strong> is the definitive story of Melbourne's gangland wars and its most glamorous and compelling central character, based on the ground-breaking work of investigative journalists Anthony Dowsley and Patrick Carlyon, who broke the story for the <em>Herald Sun</em> in 2014, and their five-year struggle to reveal the truth about the identity of Lawyer X.</p>
