[Neko · Rating 4 out of 5]

I picked this up for only $12 at Big W and thought for that price, I don't mind if I don't like it. But as it turns out, I enjoyed the tales of the underworld in mostly Australia. Sometimes, I didn't like the writing style as it felt like it was trying to be funny when I don't think it was really appropriate, BUT others may think differently.

I learned much about the seedy underworld of Australia, and some had to do with people in high-powered jobs.
