Full Description:: Three Crooked Kings is the shocking true story of Queensland and how a society was shaped by almost half a century of corruption. It’s a searing tale of cops and killings, bagmen and blackmail, and sin and sleaze that exposes a generational police and government underworld that operated from Queensland all the way to New South Wales. Set to be the most explosive book of 2013, Three Crooked Kings is a riveting, epic and unrelenting tour-de-force that will shock a nation. (Source: UQP Media Release)
