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, Underbelly. 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 really 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. Lawyer X 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. 600 10 $a Gobbo, Nicola. 650 0 $a Organized crime $z Melbourne. $z Melbourne. 650 0 $a Informers $z Melbourne. $z Melbourne. 650 0 $a Criminals $z Melbourne. $z Melbourne. 650 0 $a Gangsters $z Melbourne. $z Melbourne. 650 7 $a Criminals $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883516 650 7 $a Gangsters $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00937713 650 7 $a Informers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973196 650 7 $a Organized crime $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047884 651 7 $a Victoria $z Melbourne $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204736 655 7 $a True crime stories $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919985 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Carlyon, Patrick, $d 1972- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AE37DBC78F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
