Description:
The matriarch of Australias most violent and notorious criminal family, and allegedly the inspiration for the award-winning film Animal Kingdom, tells her side of the story.

Kathy Pettingill is a name thats both respected and feared, not only by Australias criminal underworld, but by many in the Victorian police force. As the matriarch at the head of the most notorious and violent family of habitual offenders in Australian criminal history, her life has revolved around murder, drugs, prison, prostitution and bent coppers - and the intrigue and horror that surround such crimes.

Her eldest son, Dennis Allen, was a mass murderer and a $70,000-a-week drug dealer who dismembered a Hells Angel with a chainsaw. Two younger sons were acquitted of the Walsh Street murders, the cold-blooded assassination of two police officers that changed the face of crime in Melbourne forever. One of the two, Victor, was gunned down himself in the street 14 years later, becoming the third son Kathy has buried.

In this revised and updated authorised edition of Adrian Tames bestselling The Matriarch, Kathy Pettingill reveals the chilling truth behind many of the myths and legends that surround her family, including her experiences in the blood-spattered charnel house at the centre of Dennis Allens empire of drugs and violence.

But this is no plea for pity. Forthright and deeply disturbing, like its subject, The Matriarch pulls no punches.

Updated and revised for a new generation, this true crime classic is as terrifying and powerful as when it

Good quality and design, but...
Size: Medium, Color: Black(windmill)
The design, fit, and feel are nice, and I'm glad I used the sizing chart within the pictures because typically I have to buy a large in other brands. However, the collar is unsupported and the fabric is like others have said (thin, silky, a little like a shower curtain, and a little like a disco shirt, though surprisingly not stretchy). Not necessarily bad, just unexpected, and pleasantly light. I bought the white polka dot and the gray diamond print. The white was a tiny bit see through and the gray has a very subtle color change throughout the fabric undulating slightly lighter to slightly darker, which I did not notice from the pictures, but was nice. Unfortunately, the pocket fabric didn't switch lightness and darkness the same as the rest of the shirt, so the one I received had a dark splotch right next to the lighter pocket fabric making it look like a grease stain on the center of the shirt. The two were also slightly different in size even though they were both listed as the same size (medium). The white one pulled across the chest and had more fabric on the sides, the grey one fit beautifully with a nice taper, but it had the "stain." I did not wash mine or try to get the wrinkles out, but the crease of the fabric upon arrival is very prominent, and I would imagine it is hard to get out. All-in-all, I didn't love the shirts, so I returned them. But the fabric was nice, thin, and comfortable but I wouldn't say cheap. The shirt was a little more casual with the unsupported collar which is just good to consider. And there were some minor inconsistencies with sizing. I would have kept the gray had the pattern lined up better and perhaps I just got the one bad one.

I love these shirts!
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Blue Combo
These shirts are great! They’re super comfortable, super stylish, and they fit me! I’m a fat guy and they make me look great. Here’s a tip if you’re fat like me. Sit down in a chair and measure around your biggest area, then use that as your “chest” size on their charts. Order whatever size is just a little bigger than your measurement. Always check the charts because they’re not always the same.

Nice looking shirt
Size: Large, Color: Black
A very nice shirt. Bought it for a “polka dot” dance so needed a polka dot shirt. But, it’s nice enough to wear for going out or golf. Yes, the inside is white but it’s not distracting. The medium was just right. Sometimes wear a large.
