Behind every criminal man is a young, glamorous woman profiting from his crimes. Or, at least, so the media suggests.

Felicia Djamirze is a counsellor, an advocate for women's justice, a three-time Miss Australia winner and a convicted drug dealer. Growing up surrounded by drug abuse and crime in a rough Sydney neighbourhood, she had little hope of escaping the cycle of violence and poverty. So when her looks seemed to offer her a way out, she took it - even if it involved attracting men on the wrong side of the law.

Entering this shadowy world, she became both a perpetrator and a victim, an accessory and a rebel. But eventually, the law would catch up with her in spectacular and violent fashion - and it would make her rethink everything.

Written in beautiful prose with seasoned journalist Erin O'Dwyer, Accessory is a bold and searingly honest tale of an extraordinary life.
