Duncan McNab has been in the courtroom for eighteen weeks, from the beginning of the trial, and Roger Rogersonwill build on the insight Duncan has from the research into his previous book on Rogerson, The Dodger, and from close observation of the Sydney crime scene for many years. Duncan is a former police detective, private investigator, investigative journalist and media adviser to government and the private sector. Quite simply, he knows more about Roger Rogerson than anyone else alive.

Author Duncan said of the trial and the writing of the book: 'I've been following Roger Rogerson's career - on both sides of the law - for over 30 years. He's one of the most corrupt and evil men in Australian criminal history, and finally the full story can be told.'
