    About this audiobook

    An unprecedented spate of murders in the 1990s earned Goulburn Jail the ominous name ‘The Killing Fields'. Inmates sentenced or transferred to the 130-year-old towering menace declared they had been given a death sentence. Serial killer Ivan Milat, the ‘Terror Five' militants who plotted attacks across Sydney in 2005, Brothers 4 Life founder Bassam Hamzy and gang rapist Bilal Skaf are just a few of the inmates inside Australia's most murderous prison – meet them all here in Phelps' bestselling book.
