ROGER ROGERSON was headed for the top. He was the golden-haired boy. He received more citations and made more arrests than any other officer on the force.

NEDDY SMITH, one of Australia's most notorious criminals found himself keeping company with the elite members of the police force. Overnight, a two-bit crim with a cruel streak became the kingpin of a crime and drugs syndicate. He had the green light. He was untouchable.
