![The Dark Side by [Roger Rogerson]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515m8ycSECL._SY346_.jpg)
The Dark Side Kindle Edition
The most controversial cop in Australian history, in his own words.
Roger Rogerson hasn't been a police officer for more than 20 years. Yet his name makes him, the most well-known 'detective-sergeant' in Australia.
He has been the subject of articles, appearances, profiles and books; portrayed in TV dramas; and recorded by covert listening devices at home for months.
Rogerson took up his own pen in prison. Out, he walked the club and pub speaking circuit, where he found a ready audience for his tales of law and mayhem. He now writes for newspapers.
Here, he tells us of:
- high profile investigations;
- forgotten ones, like when a key from Tassie opened a Sydney murderer's door;
- some of the most interesting dead people he's ever met;
- the hunt for desperados on a deadly robbing spree;
- the bloody night that earned him the award for courageous action;
- meeting a prominent toe cutter;
- besieging the comic Wally and the dangerous Green Man;
- the dogs in a prison he sojourned in;
- bad days in a flattened railcarriage at Granville...
and more...
These untold tales are the ones everyone else has glossed over or ignored, from the horse's mouth, for the first time.

Surprisingly well written by an arrogant man who gives the anus a bad reputation - he was as corrupt as is possible but he was a paradox. This book needs to be read with much scepticism regarding the author's version of events but it's a good read if you've got little else to read.

What you would expect from an author who maintains innocence in all things? I couldn't detect that he could saw that he participated in anything 'grey' in his career, let alone what others suggest. A light read, yet nothing of substance....

True detective work before being dismissed by nepotism.
