Description

A gripping story of bikies, feuds and a deadly clash of clans

Sydney has been involved in the bloodiest gang war in living memory. There have been 13 people murdered, including innocent bystanders, women and a number of high-profile crime figures.

Daily Telegraph crime writers Mark Morri and Josh Hanrahan have been at the forefront of every one of the hits, documenting the carnage in their newspaper columns, podcasts, video series and Tik Tok segments, with information from informants in both the underworld and senior police ranks.

For the first time, in this book, they have told the full and brutal story of these deadly feuding gangs, whose territorial wars and high-handed revenge attacks have endangered the public like never before. This high-octane story of drugs, murder and revenge, set among the Hells Angel and Comanchero bikie gangs, and the infamous warring Alameddine and Hamzy clans, is a both shocking account and an urgent warning about what happens when the underworld throws out the rules.
