The Consultant: A Memoir of a Former Bikie, Heroin Trafficker, and Underworld Fixer

By Jay Malkoun

Book Overview

Jay Malkoun isn't the type of man who lets a little thing like being blown up slow him down. In March 2019 after his morning gym session, a car bomb detonated the Mercedes Jay was sat in. It was an explosion heard around the world, as global media, law enforcement agencies and underworld cartels speculated on who had moved to assassinate the former gangster and retired leader of one of the world's most feared and powerful underworld organizations. There were a hundred possible suspects. Jay has some ideas about it too. Just because death might come for you at any minute is no excuse not to live your life. Jay's gripping autobiography is a must-read for every true-crime fan.

Jay's story is that of one of the most fascinating and complex figures that Australia has ever given the world. He is the streetfighter from Melbourne's roughest suburb who rubs shoulders with movie stars and opera singers. Convicted drug trafficker and champion horse breeder. Survivor of the Melbourne underworld wars, and ten years in Australia's most brutal prison. Nightclub enforcer and peacemaker. Strip-club mogul and incurable romantic.
