Dark City

'Silvester is the doyen of Australian true crime. No one else comes close.' Nick McKenzie

From madmen to matriarchs, stooges to heroes, eye-watering bungles to sweet justice - strap yourself in for a masterclass in storytelling from Australia's most formidable crime reporter.

True crime icon John Silvester has been reporting on Australia's criminal underbelly for over forty years. Navigating the murky intersections between the lawmakers and lawbreakers, Silvester has drawn on a lifetime's work rubbing shoulders with the good guys, the bad guys and the downright dirty. He holds the keys to the underworld's deep dark secrets, and he's giving you unlimited access into the belly of the beast.

Gritty and compelling, with his trademark wit, insight and humour, Dark City is the second riotous collection of stories from 'Sly of the Underworld'.
