Gangland WAGs takes a unique look at the wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of criminals. What makes them fall for (and put up with) their criminal partners? How do they deal with the crime-world culture of infidelity, murders and convictions? How involved are they in the crimes of their partners, and what crimes have they themselves committed? Gangland WAGs includes stories about: Carl Williams’s former wife, Roberta Williams; Lucy Dudko — the gun-toting librarian who hijacked a helicopter to airlift her lover, John Killick, from the maximum security Silverwater prison in 1999; Renata Mokbel — Tony’s sister-in-law who put up, and lost, his $1 million bail; and Australia’s own ‘catch me if you can’ girl Jodie Harris. • Robin Bowles is one of Australia’s best-selling true-crime authors, her previous titles include Blind Justice: The True Story of the Death of Jennifer Tanner; Justice Denied: An Investigation Into the Death of Jaidyn Leskie; and Dead Centre: The Inside Story of Peter Falconio.
