SOON TO BE A TV MINISERIES ON PARAMOUNT+

WINNER OF THE DANGER PRIZE 2018

John Ibrahim's incredible life story told in his own words.

Last King of the Cross lays bare Australia's most notorious underworld figure.

In the mongrel tongue of the streets, John writes of fleeing war-torn Tripoli with his family and growing up in Sydney's rough and tumble west - before establishing himself as a tough guy and teen delinquent, then a bouncer, enforcer and nightclub king on the Golden Mile.

Bullets fly, blades flash and bodies fall. In a city of shadows, John builds his army and empire - partying like a playboy prince of darkness while staying one step ahead of the cops, the outlaw gangs and hungry triggermen, plotting to take him and his family down.

Crazier than Goodfellas, more compelling than The Godfather, Last King of the Cross is a colourful crime saga like no other and powerful proof that truth is always stranger than fiction.

Why not to give up it should be called

Just a perfect expelled of the issues of Australian political and systematic corruption. Look forward to part II.

Good Read

This book was a good read, although I wouldn't rave about it. For most of the book he is just telling you what he wants you to know (obviously), it feels a little fabricated.

Brilliant

This is definitely the ultimate looking of Australian street smarts from an entrepreneur of the Sydney’s golden mile... what a fantastic in-depth view into an absolute legends life story. I’m left awe of how interesting this mans life was..

Insight into a different world

Really enjoyed hearing a different side to the usual media driven stories about John. Well written and very well read.
