Under a Bad Sun: Police, Politics and Corruption in Australia.

The focus of the book is on legal process corruption and miscarriages of justice - a field somewhat underdeveloped in the Fitzgerald Inquiry and in associated scholarship. However, the author has carried out extensive and painstaking primary research on areas of police malfeasance which were not explored in depth by the Inquiry or in subsequent research. Paul Bleakley's I Under a Bad Sun i is an aptly titled and very welcome addition to the literature on the system of police and political corruption operating in Queensland - "the sunshine state" - from the 1950s to the 1980s - much of it revealed by the Fitzgerald Commission of Inquiry report in 1989.
