About 4.47 on a cool spring morning two policemen were lured into a leafy side street in Melbourne, Australia and gunned down. Police investigators pulled out all stops to find their killers, for two and a half amazing years. Then the men they found were acquitted. The police's case against the two brothers and two friends of their family had fallen apart. They were free to leave the court. In Walsh Street Australia's most famous criminal family comes to life; Kath, the fierce matriarch; her eldest son, Dennis, drug dealer and killer; her youngest son, Trevor, charged with the murders of the policemen; her daughter, Vicki, a protected police witness; and her grandson, Jason, pulled at by her dogs-and by her enemy's pack. The family built walls of terror with murder and violence to keep dogs out. Within the walls, loyalty ruled.
