Mr Sin The Abe Saffron Dossier Abe Saffron was one of Australia's most notorious and powerful crime figures. Yet he spent his life denying any involvement in criminal activity, claiming he was just a successful businessman. But in this explosive biography, Tony Reeves reveals the true story of a man who was prepared to do anything to make a dollar. In its heart Sydney knew the truth, but absolute corruption enabled Saffron to get away with his crimes for decades. This was the man who controlled the city's underworld with an iron fist. Tony Reeves gathered information on Abe Saffron for more than forty years. With the criminal's death in September 2006, he could finally and safely reveal all. And what a story it is. Saffron trafficked in drugs, ran prostitution and gambling rings, was not averse to extreme violence and was a master of bribery and a corrupter of police, politicians and the judiciary. The man with a voracious sexual appetite was a real-life Godfather of Australian crime. Mr Sin makes for shocking and disturbing reading. It reveals the heart of a vicious world of greed and evil and leaves no doubt that Abe Saffron well and truly deserved the moniker Mr Sin. Mr Sin, the Abe Saffron Dossier was published in 2007 by Allen & Unwin, Sydney. |

He knows Sydney's underworld as Ian Rankin knows Edinburgh and he has the same ability to capture the sleaziness with an insider's intimacy. This is a wonderful evocation of a city that has now all but disappeared." —Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald. |
