About this listen
THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF AUSTRALIA'S MOST CORRUPT COP
Roger Rogerson was a serial killer with a badge.
Australia's most notorious corrupt cop was serving a life sentence for murdering student Jamie Gao in cold blood over 2.78 kg of ice, when he was found unresponsive in his cell. The man they called 'The Dodger' couldn't dodge his own death.
Once one of the most highly decorated police officers in New South Wales, Rogerson would brag of the crims he killed. For too long, the whispers of corruption around him were ignored. But his unholy alliances with heroin dealers and underworld figures would eventually bring about his downfall. Rogerson was finally dismissed from the police force in 1986.
This is the eye-opening updated account of Rogerson's life of crime and how he went from hero cop to ruthless criminal, considered one of the most corrupt and evil men in Australia. Detailing the chilling murder of Jamie Gao in storage unit 803 that led to Rogerson's final incarceration, bestselling author Duncan McNab also shares the stories behind the secrets Rogerson took to his grave.

Fascinating Stuff
Duncan McNab takes a close look at Roger Rogerson, a man who had the skill to be a top cop but who chose to one of the worst. McNab knows his stuff and this is a very compelling listen. Crisply narrated by the excellent Andrew Martin. I breezed through this book and hope more of McNab's work turns up as audiobooks soon. Updated to include Rogerson's passing in January 2024.

A factual and well researched account of Rogerson’s life…
Roger Rogerson has been a fascinating person to follow through the years. McNab’s book gives a thorough and honest account about the two sides of Rogerson. One of care and compassion-the charming man, the other side being a man who could kill anybody he perceived as getting in the way of what he wanted.
This is a highly recommended read for anybody who is interested in Australian true crime and in particular Rogerson.

A Confronting Story Well Told
This is a great book on a subject of the most significant importance for Australian cultural history. The hard-working author has worked too document the dark side of underworld and policing cultures - and the significant overlap between those two worlds this audiobook is very well read and leaves the sensational subject to speak for itself.

He Was An Enigma
The author is obviously well placed to give us insight into a charismatic and an ultimately bad person whose actions impacted the lives of many people. Well worth a listen.

Superb Detail
Most of the back story of Roger and his final downfall. It would be good to hear about Bruce now

Well researched and well narrated
Great story about the Sydney gang wars and over a police officer going bad. I remember a lot of the headlines of the age and this book fills in a lot of the gaps. Highly recommend

Another Court Report
The story appeared to be very accurate and concise, in fact, so much so, I thought I was listening to Rheem of courthouse transcripts. I expected to be entertained by a story of the unholy escapades of a likable Rouge, instead it was more of a witness statement / blow by blow of different events, presented like an episode of crime stoppers or delivered like a journalist day in court..

Bland
It seems well researched but it goes on long tangents following underdeveloped characters and isn't very compelling. Also continues the trend of lame moralising that we have seen many times before.
