Big Shots - By Adam Shand

In 2003 Adam Shand, until then a finance journalist, naively set out to unravel Melbournes bloody gangland wars. A few months research, a guaranteed cover story. But his foray into the underworld took him deeper than that. He became embroiled in a complex world where feuds raged between rival families, and where a new generationwas clashing with the criminal Establishment. Before long, he found himself counted as a friend by those who sometimes ended friendships with a hail of bullets.
 
BIG SHOTS takes the reader into the heart of the city's multibillion dollar 'disorganised crime' scene, as Shand meets the key figures and suspects behind the drama and brutal slayings that were splashed across the front pages.
