Saffron Incorporated - Stuart Coupe new book cover.jpg

Join music industry legend Stuart Coupe in conversation with writer Claire Halliday as they discuss his latest book, Saffron Incorporated.

The stories he shares explore the links between showbusiness and the seedy underbelly of organised crime - where corrupt cops, rock'n'roll promoters and dodgy accountants navigate a world of drugs, vice and gangland shootings.

Abe Saffron is known as the original King of the Cross, who laid the foundations for more than fifty years of intrigue, murder and mayhem.

He was not the first crime figure to tap into the world of entertainment, and others would emulate him, but he would become one of the most feared and most powerful in Australia. His tentacles stretched around the country and his name dominated news headlines and police briefs for decades. Even after his death, his shadow still hovers over the industry.

Free, bookings essential.
