1 y separately published work icon In Any Case Andrew Fraser , Millers Point : Pier 9 , 2012 19851185 2012 single work autobiography crime

'A compelling, jaw-dropping collection of stories from Andrew Fraser's high-profile career as a criminal defence lawyer.

'Andrew Fraser has made mistakes in his life. Big mistakes. And he has paid a hefty penalty for them. A flash, arrogant and highly successful criminal lawyer, he made a great deal of money defending a huge range of clients before a spectacular fall from grace in the late 1990s through his cocaine addiction. 

'In Any Case is the compelling blue-chip collection of Fraser's fascinating stories of people he has defended over the years as well as his own battles with the law, and himself.'

1 y separately published work icon Snouts in the Trough Andrew Fraser , Prahran : Hardie Grant Books , 2010 19851107 2010 single work biography non-fiction crime

'Every decade or so a book is published that is of such importance that it changes the way we do things forever. Snouts in the Trough is just such a book for its chilling chronicle of the crimes and betrayals of some of Australia's own police, notorious rogue cops who stand charged with the ultimate form of police corruption - shielding their crimes behind their badges. Andrew Fraser, author of bestsellers, Court in the Middle and Lunatic Soup is outspoken when it comes to corruption in Australia's justice system. This new book from Andrew Fraser will blow the lid open on the hidden world behind certain sections of Australian policing. These are true stories that you won't read in the papers or see on the news. Like the revelations that prompted the Fitzgerald Inquiry and the Wood Royal Commission, for the unsuspecting public these stories will shock and appall. The book describes how millions of dollars in drugs escaped onto the streets; how police corruption contributed to the gangland killings; how pockets were lined with the proceeds of crime; how the "brotherhood" operates in this country and the benefits they reap. This gripping real-life tale of corruption reveals a brotherhood, with hierarchies, rituals and codes of conduct; how favours paid are returned in kind; how money spreads out among the few; how protecting your mates comes in above protecting others - a force riddled with rorts that leads down a path to murder and extortion.'

1 1 y separately published work icon Lunatic Soup Andrew Fraser , Prahran : Hardie Grant Books , 2008 Z1842221 2008 single work autobiography 'When Andrew Fraser's world collapsed after 30 years as a high profile criminal lawyer he could hardly have imagined what would follow. Thrown into prison after cocaine use bought him undone, he was to experience the very worst that the Australian prison system has to offer. Placed in maximum-security he discovered that he was to serve his sentence with hard-core criminals who had committed some of Australia's most heinous crimes. In this house of horrors Andrew had to tread a careful path in order to survive. Along the way he became a confidant of sadistic serial murderer, Peter Dupas. This was to be the key to Dupas being charged with a third murder - that of Mersina Halvagis. Andrew relates his harrowing experiences of the justice system, as a prisoner, and on the stand as a witness in a murder trial. Andrew tells what life is like in a maximum-security prison and how he survived day-to-day, living with murderers, psychopaths, peodophiles and the mentally insane. With little likely-hood of release these prisoners have little to lose. Nothing can prepare you for that!' (Publisher's blurb)
