Underbelly returns for its fifth instalment of the hit Australian crime drama
One of the most dangerous crooks in Australia would never have been caught if it wasn’t for a cop who wouldn’t quit. From the western suburbs to the bush, from three-hatted restaurants to the strip clubs of Surfers Paradise, riding Harleys, helicopters and muscle cars, their battle raged for a decade.
Anthony John Michael Perish lived according to his own rules. He was both charismatic and utterly ruthless. He had bikies terrified, women entranced, family beholden.
Yet, while crims, crooks and ex-cons spoke Perish’s name with fear, no-one in the legitimate world knew he even existed. He was so clever that despite his five star lifestyle and criminal reputation, he slipped completely under the radar. He left no trace. He had no identity. He was invisible. A ghost. Anthony Perish only made one mistake in his criminal career - and it was just his bad luck a remarkable cop called Gary Jubelin was watching…. Perish and his band of villains were only sentenced in 2012, making this the most contemporary Underbelly to date.
