Bigwig. The Remarkable Rise and Fall of Tony Mokbel

An epic tale of family, crime and betrayal set against the backdrop of Melbourne′s bullet-riddled suburbs. The cradle-to-cage story of how milk-bar owner Tony Mokbel became the Mr Big of Melbourne′s drug trade with tentacles reaching around Australia and the globe.
Award-winning crime writer Liam Houlihan documents the extraordinary rise and fall of the man they call ′Fat Tony′, from his ascension through the drug trade to the decade-long and only-now-complete struggle to hold Mokbel to account for his crimes. Houlihan explores the criminal intrigue and political embarrassment arising from the daring and complex escape by public enemy number one -- out from under the noses of the authorities -- as well as the way wealthy criminals with access to smart lawyers are able to exploit the system and delay justice.
Featuring exclusive interviews with top cops and Mokbel family members -- and a cast of characters ranging from Zarah Garde-Wilson to Carl and Roberta Williams, Mick Gatto to Chopper Reed and Judy Moran -- it′s a stranger-than-fiction story of sex, pills, perfidy and pizza.
