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

Comfortable jeans. Perfect length. Too baggy for my body shape.
Size: 0, Color: Medium Wash, Size: 0, Color: Medium Wash
5’0 - 95lbs I got size 0. They are comfortable, but really baggy. The length sits perfect at my ankles. The quality of the jeans are also nice. Pockets are a good size.

Too high waisted
Size: 14, Color: Black
I really wanted these jeans to fit because I loved the style and the heavier weight with just a touch of stretch. Size 14 should have fit but was huge. High waist is an understatement; the waist hit between my bellybutton and my boobs. The whole body area - waist, butt, crotch was huge. Sad because I liked the look of the legs...just the right amount of width and the length hitting the top of my Chelsea boots (26" exactly, I measured) plus the wide cuff. I'm not sure if going down a size or two will change how high the waist goes.

I’m smitten

These are so well made and perfect high-rise to keep my belly tucked away. Have the perfect stretch without making me sausage like. Keep shape all day! Great length and look so cute with all kinds of shoes. Can’t wait for sweater weather!
