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
