'An exquisite finale to Matthew Condon's epic analysis of crime and corruption in mid-to-late-20th-century Queensland.'
Sydney Morning Herald
The gripping finale to Three Crooked Kings and Jacks and Jokers brings to a close Matthew Condon's bestselling true-crime trilogy.
In 1983, the soon-to-be-knighted Police Commissioner Terry Lewis continues to turn a blind eye to the operation of The Joke, a highly organised system of graft payments from illegal gambling, prostitution and illicit drugs. As the tentacles of this fraudulent vice network spread, the fabric holding together the police, judiciary and political system starts to unravel. All Fall Down offers an unprecedented insight into the Fitzgerald Inquiry and Lewis's subsequent years in prison, and explores the real story behind the dramatic exit of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Drawing from interviews with key players who have, until now, been afraid to speak publicly, All Fall Down celebrates the bravery of those unsung heroes who risked everything to expose the truth.
This epic trilogy provides the definitive account of an unforgettable period in Queensland's history. The devastating consequences of those decades of corruption still reverberate today.
‘The strength of Condon’s work is his fascination with the people he is researching … A compelling portrait of the Queensland capital of thirty years ago.’
