Smack Express: How Organised Crime Got Hooked On Drugs

Synopsis

In 1980, Al McCoy wrote one of the most infleuntial books on organised crime in this part of the world: Drug Traffic: Narcotics an Organised Crime in Australia. Smack Express is the book on organised crime for this generationClive Small & Tom Gilling take us back to the very beginning of this extraordinary story - to heroin importation by the Moylan Syndicate in the 70s and Robert Trimbole's dominance of the cannabis trade. But their story quickly moves forward to recent times: to the gang wars of the 80s; to the rise of Cabramatta as the heroin capital of the nation; to Neddy and Stan The Man' Smith; to the Balmain Gang, the Coogee Mob and the East Coast Milieu; to Michael Hurley (who recently died, leaving his loyal lieutenant, the ex footballer Les Mara, to face the courts), Roger Rogerson and Danny Karam. Here is a book that authoritatively and meticulously fits all the pieces of this puzzle together to create one big fascinating picture of the drug industry in Australia.
