About this listen
Underbelly meets Molly's Game - the true crime investigation that rewrote the story of Melbourne's infamous gangland war and triggered a royal commission.
Melbourne's gangland war was an era dominated by murders, stings, hits, drug busts, corruption and greed - inspiring best-selling books and even a popular TV series, Underbelly. It took the police a decade to curtail the violence and bring down criminal kingpins Carl Williams, Tony Mokbel, and their accomplices. When the police finally closed the case file, just how they really won the war, with the help of an unlikely police informer, would become a closely guarded secret and its exposure, the biggest legal scandal of our time.
Lawyer X is the scandalous, true story of how a promising defence barrister from a privileged background broke all the rules - becoming both police informer and her client's lover - sharing their secrets and shaping the gangland war that led to sensational arrests and convictions. The story of how Nicola Gobbo became Lawyer X, and why, is a compelling study in desperation and determination.
Lawyer X is the definitive story of Melbourne's gangland wars and its most glamorous and compelling central character, based on the ground-breaking work of investigative journalists Anthony Dowsley and Patrick Carlyon, who broke the story for the Herald Sun in 2014, and their five-year struggle to reveal the truth about the identity of Lawyer X.

Interesting story
Interesting story but the narration sounded like the old TV astrologers - it distracted me from hearing the story.

Astonishing story
An amazing story of the most appalling breach of legal ethics. There was no excuse for this, nor for the police behaviour. Well read.

When cops and barristers are worse then the crime
Good listen. Makes all those lawyer joke more relevant.
Vic cops did not care of the law they just wanted scores regardless of how they were obtained. And the l barrister she was damaged goods and reprehensible

A very interesting story hard to follow at times but well worth persisting with A insight into the underworld police corruption and the law and how it all ticks

Great Book, but sounds like Siri is reading it
Fantastic Book & story. But the Narrator sounds like Siri is reading it.
If you can get past that you will enjoy the book.

Just Ok.
Long winded in parts. Only an average story. Lacked some detail but passed slightly. Narrator sounds like she is almost whispering all the way through
