John Silvester has been reporting on crime from the cop stations, courthouses, back alleys and gangster mansions of Melbourne for 40 years. His contact book is a who's who of both sides of criminal justice, and the shadowy worlds between. He is the trusted confidante of cops, criminals, lawyers and judges. He knows where the cash is stashed and where the bodies are buried.

Naked City is a collection of Silvester's best stories, from sophisticated heists to mindless acts of violence and deeds of pure evil - impeccably sourced, wry, wise and witty.
