The Inside Story of the Controversial Shooting of Undercover Policeman Michael Drury.
Second Edition
The attempted murder in 1984 of undercover policeman Michael Drury - shot while in his kitchen feeding his baby daughter - has been labelled the "lowest of the low" in Australian criminal annals. The compelling ABC TV mini-series 'Blue Murder' brings this dramatic crime back into the spotlight.
The case involves accusations of bribery, widespread corruption, betrayal and collusion, and provides a rare insight into the mechanics of police culture. Former Detective-Sergeant Roger Rogerson's part in the affair is documented and reveals the intense struggle for power that existed in the NSW police force. That struggle - the pitting of one kind of policeman against another - has had far-reaching consequences.
