Classic Crime

Jack Sim presents the first title in a brand new series of True Crime Compendiums - CLASSIC CRIME Volume 1, Number 1, written by veteran crime reporter Ken Blanch.

Throughout the 100 pages of gripping journalistic writing, Ken explores 10 of Australia's most compelling cases revealing new angles that have never been explored, until now.

Combined with 40 original in-text photographs - some never before published CLASSIC CRIME Volume 1, Number 1 covers such cases as...

- The Corpse with Blue & Brown Eyes
- The Man They Couldn't Hang
- The Art of Homicide

And other crimes, corruption & crims...

While today's true crime market is swamped with replications and rehashing's of the same cases,

CLASSIC CRIME Volume 1, Number 1 takes cases you know, and some you won't, deconstructs them and presents them in a fresh light.

Nearly unpublished due to the controversial nature surrounding some of the stories in its pages CLASSIC CRIME Volume 1, Number 1 is the must have for anyone who calls themselves a connoisseur of true crime.

CLASSIC CRIME Volume 1, Number 1 has been inspired by listeners and callers on the regular radio segment Classic Crime at Nine with Ian Maurice on Radio 4BC, Brisbane's leading talkback radio station.

Launched at the Brisbane Writers Festival September 2008 Classic Crime Volume 1, Number 1 is available from Angus & Robertson Bookstores across Australia, other leading booksellers or direct from the publisher.
