Andrew Fraser was one of Australia's high-profile criminal lawyers for thirty years. He defended the likes of Alan Bond, the Morans, footballer Jimmy Krakouer and killer Dennis Allan. And then it all went horribly wrong.

In 1999, he was charged with being knowingly concerned with the importation of a commercial quantity of cocaine. Fraser pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing and to using cocaine over a period of time. He also pleaded guilty to trafficking a small quantity of cocaine to a friend and to possessing two ecstasy tablets. He was sentenced to seven years in prison with a minimum of five years to serve, including three years in maximum security.

Court in the Middle is a revealing insight into the prison world from someone who knows the criminal system inside out. (back cover)
