Death at Bondi - By Darren Goodsir

Cops, cocaine, cover-up and corruption: 'Death At Bondi' is the chilling inside story of the controversial shooting on Bondi Beach in 1997 of French photographer Roni Levi. Grippingly told, it details the bungled police investigation into the slaying that allowed the true facts to be hidden for so long.

The story focuses on the murky life and times of the police killers, who - despite concerns about their shooting on Australia's most famous seaside boulevard - became virtual heroes, propelled by a masterful public relations campaign. Behind the spin, the two cops actually had deep links to the infamous Bondi scene inhabited by glamorous celebrities, pretenders and criminals.

This is a penetrating look at the twilight world of police corruption and the horrifying extent to which the system, and the media, can be manipulated to keep a lid on an explosive tale.
