Last king of the X

Plot

Last King of the Cross lays bare Australia's most notorious underworld figure. In the mongrel tongue of the streets, John writes of fleeing war-torn Tripoli with his family and growing up in Sydney's rough and tumble west before establishing himself as a tough guy and teen delinquent, then a bouncer, enforcer and nightclub king on the Golden Mile. Bullets fly, blades flash and bodies fall in a city of shadows as John builds his army and his empire, partying like a playboy prince of darkness while staying one step ahead of the cops, the killers, the outlaw gangs and hungry trigger-men plotting to take him and his family down. Crazier than Goodfellas, more compelling than The Godfather, Last King of the Cross is a colourful crime saga like no other and powerful proof truth is always stranger than fiction.
