When you're hot you're hot. And when you're shot you're shot ... In Melbourne, generations of gangsters have lived and died by the creed ''We catch and kill our own''. But in the last decade the violence bubbling under the surface spilled into open war on the streets. This is the story of the gangsters, the hitmen and the police who deal with them in the deadliest game of all. The book that inspired the smash hit television series "Underbelly".
