Matriarch by Adrian Tame (9780330363877)

Description - Matriarch by Adrian Tame

Kathy Pettingill is a name that's both respected and feared, not only by Australia's criminal underworld, but by many in the Victorian police force. As the matriarch at the head of the most notorious and violent family of habitual offenders in Australian criminal history, her life has revolved around murder, drugs, prison, prostitution and bent coppers - and the intrigue and horror that surround such crimes. Two of her younger sons were acquitted of the Walsh Street murders. One of the two, Victor, was gunned down himself in the street 14 years later, becoming the third son Kathy has buried. In this authorised book Kathy Pettingill reveals the chilling truth behind many of the myths and legends that surround her family. This Pan edition has been revised and updated.
