TRUE CRIME West Australian

… “In this entertaining and humorous expose of the rogues and rapscallions of the new criminal elite, The fifth estate, Terence McLernon uses his skills and knowledge as a former police officer and private investigator to highlight sundry rorts and scams. Often they involve the still intact police culture by which corruption has become ingrained in our society. Meet Two-Gun Elroy, Tatiana the Fake Russian Psychic, the bold Duck and the Fearsome Featherfeet supported by a bizarre cast of miscreants from the netherworld and lower. Frenzied nights of nuptials are entwined with bribed officials. Chinese ho’s, mad terrorist bombers and the night-time jaunts of Charlie 88 – the battered squad car on ‘crawl’ around the clubs, pubs and sinners of Fremantle town. Just another day at the crazy farm!”
