They say a life of crime is the life of constant risk and danger, but what's more dangerous

yet is the life of a criminal informant.

An informant constantly walks a treacherous tightrope between their crime partners and police

officer handlers.

Informants have to stay close to get the information they owe the cops, but one wrong

move, even the smallest slip-up,

could get them killed. Informants are always criminals. They have to be right. Well, not this time.

I'm attorney Marcia Clark, the host of the new True Crime podcast, Informance Lawyer X.

And in this show, you're going to hear the shocking story

of the last person you'd ever expect to become an informant. The story of Nicola Gabo

is one with the kinds of twists and turns you'd only believe if it were absolutely true.

She was a high-powered criminal lawyer who represented the most

notorious drug lords in Australia, key players in what was known as the gangland wars.

Nicholas sold them out, betraying the very people she'd sworn to defend. By day, she went to

battle for them in court, while by night she holed up with the cops and spilled all their deepest, darkest secrets.

The Lawyer-X scandal exploded across international headlines, and Nicholas duplicity put her life and the lives of her children in danger.

This unbelievable edge-of-your-seat thriller

will keep you guessing until the very end.

I'm about to play you a clip from the first episode of Informance Lawyer X.
