    The Dark Side: The explosive story of corruption, greed and murder in the Australian drug trade , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
    A fierce and compelling exposé of organised crime and the role of a senior law enforcement officer in Australia's multibillion-dollar drug trade. 'Each year at least $10 billion is laundered in and through Australia. Much of this money is derived from illicit drugs.' Hooked on the limitless profits of the drug trade, organised crime has grown so powerful that it now poses a major threat to Australia's national security. Clive Small and Tom Gilling show how Australian crime gangs, in partnership with violent international syndicates, have exploited lax law enforcement and corruption on the nation's waterfront to import narcotics on a vast scale from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. The authors reveal for the first time the corrupt history of Mark Standen, the senior investigator at the New South Wales Crime Commission whose conviction on drug importation charges sparked Australia's biggest law-enforcement crisis since the Wood royal commission. In the process they expose the cover-ups, strategic blunders and missed opportunities that continue to make Australia a soft target for international drug traffickers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Newton, and Peter Doyle.From John Dale's introduction to the book:"Nothing lasts in Sydney, especially good fortune: lives are upturned, shops are sold, roads dug up, trees and houses knocked down, premiers discarded, and entire communities relocated in the name of that economic mantra - growth and progress. Just when you think the traffic can't get any worse and the screech of the 747s descending over your roof can't get any louder, along comes a wild electrical storm that batters the buildings and shakes the power lines and washes the garbage off the streets and you stand, sheltered under your broken brolly in the center of Sydney, admiring this big beautiful city.What never changes, though, is the hustle on the street. My father was a detective in the vice squad shortly after the Second World War, and he told stories of busting SP bookies in Paddingto ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Saint: Set 1
    British actor Simon Dutton (Dangerous Beauty, By the Sword Divided) dons the golden halo in three feature-length adventures based on the timeless character created by Leslie Charteris. Simon Templar - known as the Saint from his initials - is a suave, sophisticated super-sleuth with a taste for theft and beautiful women. He lives on both sides of the law, courting danger with a smile. Women adore him, criminals fear him, and the police are often two steps behind him. Filmed in exotic locations around the world, these three adventures find the Saint chasing kidnappers, trapping murderers, and saving an old flame's father from a financial scam, all while staying impeccably dressed. Guest stars include Gayle Hunnicut, John Astin, Rebecca Gilling, and Ed Devereaux.
