Publisher's Synopsis
'Three Crooked Kings' detailed the shocking true story of Queensland and how a society was shaped by almost half a century of corruption. In 'Jacks and Jokers' the story continued, with Terry Lewis taking the reins as police commissioner while corruption at the highest levels of the police and government thrived. This book presents the final gripping instalment in the trilogy, with more corruption, colourful new characters and bad behaviour outside the law by the law. It charts Lewis' dramatic demise, which signalled an end to 'the joke' and the infamous 'crooked kings'. It also reveals the true story of the events leading up to the Fitzgerald Inquiry in the late 1980s, courtesy of interviews with several key players who have, until now, remained silent.
