Subtitle: Three Crooked Kings, Book 3
Author: Matthew Condon
Narrator: David Tredinnick

Publisher's Summary:
The gripping finale to Three Crooked Kings and Jacks and Jokers brings to a close Matthew Condon's best-selling true-crime trilogy.
In 1983, the soon-to-be-knighted Police Commissioner Terry Lewis continues to turn a blind eye to the operation of The Joke, a highly organised system of graft payments from illegal gambling, prostitution and illicit drugs. As the tentacles of this fraudulent vice network spread, the fabric holding together the police, judiciary and political system starts to unravel.
All Fall Down offers an unprecedented insight into the Fitzgerald Inquiry and Lewis's subsequent years in prison, and explores the real story behind the dramatic exit of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Drawing from interviews with key players who have, until now, been afraid to speak publicly, All Fall Down celebrates the bravery of those unsung heroes who risked everything to expose the truth.
This epic trilogy provides the definitive account of an unforgettable period in Queensland's history. The devastating consequences of those decades of corruption still reverberate today.

Informative and gripping read
Matthew Condon presents a balanced account of a fascinating period in Queensland's history. I like the way he does not try to sensationalise the events.
One thing I always enjoy with history is pictures and there were none
I've read all three of the books associated with the Queensland Police. I thought the first book and this last book told the whole sordid story quite well. I was a visitor to Brisbane around that time in the mid 80's visiting a friend who was working there at the time. I don't know that he was aware of the extent of the corruption. One thing I always enjoy with history is pictures and there were none. The newspapers must have had hundreds of them.
I never realised just how bad it was!
This was a real eye-opener. I'm 55 now, so when all this was happening in QLD (I was only interested in girls, music and my mates) it was just some "talking heads" on the news. Reading it now... to understand how bad things were... was just jaw-dropping. A great read!
Brilliant
This book brings together the events described in the first two books and then adds more to make a comprehensive picture of the history of Queensland curruption, policing and politics from the 50s onwards. I couldn't put it down. It's a wake up call to all of the destructive power of corruption. Brilliant.
Four Stars
