Story
Among members of the outlaw motorcycle clubs, Caesar Campbell is a legend. Former sergeant-at-arms and chief enforcer for the Comancheros, Caesar became the founding member and sergeant-at-arms of the Australian chapter of the Bandidos. He epitomised bikie culture - unbeatable in a fight, brutal in the extreme, fearing no one and nothing, and loyal until death. This is Caesar's story, from his recruitment into the Comancheros, to the savage split within the club that led to the foundation of the Bandidos and the bloody massacre at Milperra that resulted from it.

The matriarch of Australia’s most violent and notorious criminal family, and allegedly the inspiration for the award-winning film Animal Kingdom, tells her side of the story. Kathy Pettingill is a name that’s both respected and feared, not only by Australia’s criminal underworld, but by many in the Victorian police force. As the matriarch at the head of the most notorious and violent family of habitual offenders in Australian criminal history, her life has revolved around murder, drugs, prison, prostitution, and bent coppers.

Here I am: tall and broad, shaved head, had my nose broken three times fighting. Black suit, white shirt, the big-city homicide detective. I've led investigations into serial killings, child abductions, organized crime hits and domestic murders. But beneath the suit, I've got an Om symbol in the shape of a Buddha tattooed on my right bicep. It balances the tattoo on my left ribs: Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. That's how I choose to live my life. As a cop, I got paid to catch killers. They tell you not to let a case get personal, but I think it has to.

The world’s most successful criminal empire is now being operated on a massive scale by outlaw motorcycle gangs - an empire that is growing in power, reach, and ruthlessness by the day. Their international empire is both sophisticated and brutal. It is also both strategic and opportunistic - where they cannot dominate, they broker alliances. Above the Law investigates how it all started: the turf wars that were fought, the deals that were done, and how the sea of cash that was earned is now being legitimised. It also reveals how law enforcement at an international level is losing the battle against the gangs.

Lenny McLean was one of the deadliest bareknuckle fighters Britain has ever seen. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had terrible enemies. So much so that he had two bullet wounds in his back - each from a different attack. He was also stabbed repeatedly - always from behind. But Lenny was also a warm, big-hearted grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness was an overwhelming desire to put the welfare of his mates ahead of his own wellbeing.

Publisher's Summary
SOON TO BE A TV MINISERIES ON PARAMOUNT+
WINNER OF THE DANGER PRIZE 2018
John Ibrahim's incredible life story told in his own words.
Last King of the Cross lays bare Australia's most notorious underworld figure.
In the mongrel tongue of the streets, John writes of fleeing war-torn Tripoli with his family and growing up in Sydney's rough and tumble west - before establishing himself as a tough guy and teen delinquent, then a bouncer, enforcer and nightclub king on the Golden Mile.
Bullets fly, blades flash and bodies fall. In a city of shadows, John builds his army and empire - partying like a playboy prince of darkness while staying one step ahead of the cops, the outlaw gangs and hungry triggermen, plotting to take him and his family down.
Crazier than Goodfellas, more compelling than The Godfather, Last King of the Cross is a colourful crime saga like no other and powerful proof that truth is always stranger than fiction.

A fantastic insight into Sydney's underbelly in the 1990s and early 2000s. Also a fascinating look at John's journey from an immigrant kid in Western Sydney to financial independence and mixing with Sydney's and international A-listers. Highly engaging A+.

AN ENTERTAINING READ FOR ANY GANGSTER OR WANNA BE
A true inspiration, how even the tough guy can do the job well, talentedly charming with his aggressive approach to doing things the right way, at least with the way he portrays himself and his businesses, which John Ibrahim does superbly well, and by listening to Last King of the Cross, you get a real identity check to the business man and entrepreneur that John Ibrahim proficiently sketches with each sentence, and chapter to this entertaining book, which has a lot of gangster to it, in a positive way, not in a thuggish way, but in a hard persona that obviously is successful enough to of done it more than once, and at many times, all at the same times as running the complexity that Last King of the Cross portrays with each slice indulged, of the John Ibrahim delicacy served within this audio books pages, words, and paragraphs.
I really look forward to throwing this on when I can and it lasts 10 hours, so you get your moneys worth, and it is always a relaxing time to hear some smart talk, which makes proper and perfect business sense, and common sense. I find it real cool, how John Ibrahim keeps his 'hardened' personality alive, with his obviously charming ways he handles himself, his staff, his venues, and all things John Ibrahim.
Thanks for being so honest about your past troubles in running most of the cross, and hell, pretty much the entire night life in Sydney, and thanks for being a god that can talk the talk still as much as you have already walked the walked, but I am sure can do much more walking and talking as he becomes ever more successful with this release, and any other items relating to this purchase. Last King of the Cross shirts would be a treat :P LONG LIVE DCM's
