Queensland in the 1950s: god-fearing, morally upstanding, tough on crime.
Beneath the surface, a murky world of gambling, drugs and brothels kept in check by three crooked cops known as The Rat Pack.
For thirty years, they ran a complex system of bribery and extortion as they pocketed the profits. But this trio never dreamed how things would end. That the women they exploited — madams, sex workers, entrepreneurs — would be their demise.
Journalist Matt Condon shared a small taste of this story on last Monday's episode of ABC News Daily, and now we're sharing the full first episode of Dig - Sirens Are Coming. If you want to hear more, the full season is available now on the ABC listen app.
