Australian author
Award winning journalist

Journalist Andrew Rule distils decades of intel and research into a fast-paced tour de force detailing some of the most notorious crimes in Australian history.

Journalist and podcaster Andrew Rule brings us 18 Australian crime stories that have fuelled fears, fired outrage and broken hearts and dreams. Among them are events so infamous that a word or phrase propels us back to a time and place. The disappearance of the Beaumont children from an Adelaide beach in the '60s lingers in the nation's collective memory. The Easey Street murders symbolise a chilling assault on the freedom of young women in the '70s. The execution-style shooting of Gary Abdallah by a detective in the '80s heightened suspicions about the twinned worlds of cops and criminals. The author has covered crime for decades with a novelist's eye and forensic attention to truth, and lived to tell the tales. These are the best of them.

'Superb.' (on Winx)
The Sydney Morning Herald

'Rule is a brilliant story teller ... His prose is tight, punchy and colourful. The energy of the narrative is overwhelming.' (on Chance)
