The Skull: Informers, Hit Men and Australia's Toughest Cop

There has never been a more feared or respected policeman in Australia than Brian â€œSkullâ€ Murphy.

Bestselling author Adam Shand tells the story of the last of the super cops. Through dramatic recreations, The Skull follows Brian Murphy on the beat as he collars big-time crims and small-time thugs, rubs shoulders with corrupt officials and flashy assassins, and uses a combination of old-school persuasion and self-styled â€˜slychologyâ€™ to recruit his network of informers.

Murphy ventures into the grey areas of law enforcement and the criminal underworld of the â€™70s and â€™80s, where he confronts such renowned villains as Christopher Dale Flannery, the Kane brothers and Ray Chuck.

Fast-paced and gritty, The Skull is the life and times of a legendary crime-fighter.
