In September 2009, Sydney businessman Michael McGurk was executed in a professional hit on the driveway of his North Shore house. With a single shot, the doting father and generous Catholic parishioner was revealed as a violent loan shark, standover merchant and extortionist who didn't care who he cheated.

His murder lifted the lid on some of the darker ways of doing business Sydney-style. And those caught up in his web included high-profile labor identities, property developers, a merchant bank and even the Sultan of Brunei. (back cover)
