Softcover. From Mad Major Mudie, 1833 to The Hitchhiker Murders, 1972 - 24 cases which explode the myth that crime is the prerogative of the urban environment. Greed, passion, hate or the fight for survival, the motives are always the same no matter where the location. In Australia the early crimes took place in the bush where the bushrangers haunted the back roads or burst into banks in sleepy rustic towns. In those days Australia was largely a pastoral society but as cities expanded and the rural population dwindled the balance between rural and urban crime changed. 184pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F.
