Underbelly

As the world goes about its daily business, ciminals and cops engage in a deadly battle of wits. This incisive book delves intriguingly into the crimes that police have to deal with day after day. Murderers, hitmen, kidnappers, drug dealers- they all feature in this collection of true crime stories that come to you straight from streets. Take the drug dealer who walked out of a restaurant bragging that he'd killed a man with his bare-hands - unaware that his fellow diner was an undercover policeman. Or the young mother, whose death was written of as suicide, but further investigation proved to be something much more sinisterÖ

Andrew Rule and John Silvester are the writing team who brought you the exploits of the notorious Mark 'Chopper' Read, whose books are regular features in the bestseller lists and which were tirned into a major movie.
