'Coke is terribly moreish. Users rarely are able to leave "a little for later" as with, for example, a bottle of fine Scotch whisky. No, snorting cocaine is more like devouring a bowl of salted cashews in a state of hunger. You just keep hoovering until it's all gone.'

"Doc" Tim Watson-Munro became famous by his association with the infamous. In his public life, he was regarded as one of Australia's leading forensic psychologists - the "psychologist to the gentry" - who made his living giving expert evidence in the country's more notorious court cases.

In his private life, Tim was struggling with several demons of his own - namely a very expensive cocaine habit and depression. A member of Melbourne's corporate cocaine set, Tim was charged in late 1999 by the police for drug use and possession and struck off the register . . .

From his early years working with inmates at Sydney's Parramatta Gaol to high profile cases including psychopath Julian Knight (Melbourne's Hoddle Street massacre), corporate fraudster Brian Quinn, and the trial of Alan Bond, Tim lifts the lid on the corporate cocaine set as well as exposing his own drug addiction and subsequent recovery.

This is a controversial and gritty account of a number of very public trials, personalities and the workings of the criminal mind from a professional's perspective. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. It's an explosive memoir of one man's slow and very public fall from grace . . .
