Abe Saffron: The First King Of The Cross

Abe Saffron, the original King of the Cross, built an empire through nightclubs, crooked cops, drugs, gambling and vice.

His influence shaped more than fifty years of crime, corruption and intrigue in Australia’s entertainment world.

In Saffron Incorporated, music industry legend and author Stuart Coupe lays bare how show business and the underworld became inseparably linked.
