The gripping finale to Three Crooked Kings and Jacks and Jokers
brings to a close Matthew Condon's bestselling true crime trilogy.
In 1983, the soon-to-be-knighted Police Commissioner Terry Lewis
continues to turn a blind eye to the operation of The Joke, a highly
organised system of graft payments from illegal gambling, prostitution,
and illicit drugs. As the tentacles of this fraudulent vice network
spread, the fabric holding together the police, judiciary, and political
system starts to unravel.
All Fall Down offers an unprecedented insight into the Fitzgerald
Inquiry and Lewis's subsequent years in prison, and explores the real
story behind the dramatic exit of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Drawing from
interviews with key players who have, until now, been afraid to speak
publicly, All Fall Down celebrates the bravery of those unsung heroes
who risked everything to expose the truth.
This epic trilogy provides the definitive account of an unforgettable
period in Queensland's history. The devastating consequences of those
decades of corruption still reverberate today.
