A true story of cocaine, police, corruption and prison….For thirty years, Andrew Fraser was one of Australia’s high profile criminal lawyers. He defended the likes of Alan Bond, Melbourne’s underworld family the Morans, footballer Jimmy Krakouer and killer Dennis Allan. His clients could reach him 24/7 and he worked tirelessly to free them from the clutches of the law. Then cocaine unravelled everything. Police bugged his office, and in an unfortunate sequence of events, charged Fraser with being knowingly concerned with an importation of cocaine – serious charges that received no mercy – sentenced to seven years inmprisonment with a minimum of five years. “Court in the Middle “is a revealing insight into the prison world from someone who knows the criminal system inside out. Andrew Fraser lost everything: he was disbarred, discredited, broken financially and his marriage destroyed, but he refuses to play the victim. He writes as he acted in court: tough, relentless with no holds barred attitude.
