Neddy: The Life and Crimes of Arthur Stanley Smith

by Neddy Smith, Tom Noble

Neddy Smith's life story, smuggled out of Long Bay prison, created a sensation on publication. He wrote that:
- Detective Sergeant Roger Rogerson and other NSW police gave him a rare 'green light' to rob, bash, deal drugs, whatever... without fear of arrest.
- He robbed payrolls, dealt heroin and took full advantage
- He was the star witness at ICAC hearings into police corruption that changed policing in NSW

And he wrote it like he was telling it in a pub - immediate, compelling, straight from the shoulder.

This is the book that inspired the TV drama, Blue Murder

Good read

Thorough & informative. Very interesting to read & gather a broader view on corruption & crime within Australia. Well written.

[Dan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A classic. Read with a grain of salt given the claims, but well written an teaming with Sydney criminal history.
