Mafia families in Australia report directly to bosses in Calabria and profits are funnelled back to the mother organisation. Yet despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Federal and State law enforcement agencies have long assured the public that there is no Calabrian mafia in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith powerful and uncompromising clarity, \u003ci\u003eEvil Life\u003c\/i\u003e shatters this myth. Drawing on court documents and unreleased intelligence reports, as well as interviews with well-informed sources, the authors reveal how the Calabrian mafia evolved from its beginnings on the north Queensland cane fields in the 1920s to establish cells in every major capital city, making Australia a key outpost in the world of global organised crime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48147261161708,"sku":"9781760296179","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781760296179-evil-life.jpg?v=1786447634","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/evil-life-by-tom-gilling-9781760296179","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
