The Giant Book of Crimes That Shocked Australia by Alan Sharpe
The 50 gripping crimes retold by Alan Sharpe take us on a dark journey down through the years from the earliest days of settlement to the present time.
Along the way we meet runaway convicts, spouse poisoners, kidnappers and homicidal maniacs. The cases carry us from the wild shores of south-west Tasmania early last century, to the dimmed-out streets of wartime Melbourne, to a nightmare that would haunt elderly ladies in modern-day Mosman.
We are reminded that we do not control our fate. A set of trifling circumstances might place us in the wrong place at the wrong time.
