FAMOUS AUSTRALASIAN CRIMES

Hardback. Some of the most fascinating cases in criminal history are included in this collection of notable Australian and New Zealand murders. Includes the story of motherly Caroline Grills, Sydney's one-woman crime wave, who was the first person in the world to commit mass homicide by the use of thallium. Here is the amazing case of Eugene Falleni, the woman who murdered her "wife". Also includes the pitiful story of Edward Williams, the broken-down musician who killed his 3 children from pity - but who himself was shown no pity by the Cabinet Minister who hanged him - and who later himself ordered a murder. Also features one of the crimes of the century - the case of the two schoolgirls of Christchurch, New Zealand, Juliet Hulme and Pauline Parker. Illus. 192pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly foxed and browned edges. Vg. in chipped and frayed dw.
