Consultant (eBook)

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 organisations. 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. A family man of deep religious faith who is capable of extreme violence when pushed. A loving father and a loyal son. A negotiator of multi-million-dollar deals in both the boardroom and the backroom. The one-time leader of one of the most influential and powerful outlaw motorcycle clubs the world has ever seen - whose power extends across the globe.Confronting, confounding, hard to the core and laugh-out-loud funny, this is Jay Malkoun in his own words - a compelling narrative of violence, contradiction and redemption. The Consultant is both an unprecedented tour of the underworld,and a compelling exploration of a man who has lived a hundred lifetimes in one and is now ready to tell his story.
