Australian Crime: Chilling Cases of Our Time

Australians have always had a fascination for criminals and crime from the pluck and daring of bushrangers, the mafioso of the 1960s and the horror of serial killers in the 1980s. Then we witnessed the changing face of crime with the spread of the narcotics trade and the explosion of the internet in the 1990s, leading to billion-dollar frauds, paedophilia online and terrorism. This updated edition of Australian Crime is an enthralling account of the crimes that have made headlines and shocked the nation. Each detailed case looks at the most chilling events and hardened characters in our history, as well as those of the new millennium including the Bali Nine, the corrupt cops of Sydney’s beaches and The Gap murder of Caroline Byrne.
