For our final episode of season seven, John Silvester answers your questions about crooks, cops and crime.

In this episode, Sly talks about his relationship with Chopper Read, for whom he and fellow journalist Andrew Rule ghost-wrote a series of books based on Read's prison letters.

Sly talks about Melbourne's gangland war and its related characters, such as feared prisoner – and as we discover, aspiring poet – Matthew Charles Johnson. Johnson, of course, is best known as the man who killed Carl Williams in Barwon Prison.

The episode, guest-hosted by producer and former crime reporter Tammy Mills, also traverses some of the cold cases that have haunted Melbourne, including the disappearance of Boronia schoolgirl Bung Siriboon, and the suspected murder of Cuckoo restaurant owner Willi Koeppen, widely regarded as Australia's first celebrity chef.

Oh, and Sly also talks about the time he was accused of a violent crime.

We'll see you next season.
