OUTSIDE THE LAW. Australian True Crime Stories

John Silvester writes about Donald Mckay, the Griffith businessman who asked too many questions about the activities of the Australian Mafia in his hometown - and paid for it with his life. Jennifer Cooke examines one of the most horrifying crimes ever - the random rape and murder of Anita Cobby. Andrew Rule looks at the last days of former law student Frank Vitkovic, which ended in the senseless violence of the Queen Street massacre. Murray Mottram describes the death of a taxi driver - by killers aged just 13 and 14. And Garry Linnell gets inside the head of an undercover policeman, who put his life on the line day after day - in pursuit of some of Australia's most ruthless criminals.
