'Roger Rogerson hasn't been a police officer for more than 20 years. Yet his name makes him the most well-known 'detective-sergeant' in Australia. He has been the subject of articles, appearances, profiles and books; portrayed in TV dramas; and recorded by covert listening devices at home for months. Rogerson took up his own pen in prison. Out, he walked the club and pub speaking circuit, where he found a ready audience for his tales of law and mayhem. He now writes for newspapers.
'Here, he tells us of:
- high profile investigations
- forgotten ones, like when a key from Tassie opened a Sydney murderer's door
- some of the most interesting dead people he's ever met
- the hunt for desperados on a deadly robbing spree
- the bloody night that earned him the award for courageous action
- meeting a prominent toe cutter
- besieging the comic Wally and the dangerous green Man
- the dogs in a prison he sojourned in
- bad days in a flattened railcarriage at Granville ...
'and more ...
'These untold tales are the ones everyone else has glossed over or ignored, from the horse's mouth, for the first time.'
