The Gangster's Ghost

Episode 3: Holystoning


Listen Later

In this episode, Regan and his mother, Clare – The Colonel – suddenly leave rural Young for the big smoke of Sydney. 

Clare turns up in the city’s notorious red-light district of Darlinghurst, while Regan mysteriously disappears into the institutional nightmare of a Gosford boys’ home. There, he will befriend other wayward children who will ultimately emerge as the biggest and most lethal gangsters of their era.

And Regan, schooled as an apprentice criminal in the boys’ home, will enter the violent noir of Sydney’s Kings Cross in the 1960s and hone his skills as a murderous mobster, terrifying both his criminal milieu and law enforcement.
