Hoddle Street: The Ambush and the Tragedy by Peter Haddow revisits the 1987 ambush that stunned Melbourne and reshaped Australian policing. In this tightly written biography, Haddow reconstructs the events of that night, the manhunt, and the human cost felt across the city.

The 1998 Strategic Australia paperback is vintage, inscribed by a previous owner, and still square and solid. Light cover scuffing and edge rubs speak of shelf time, not heavy reading; pages are unmarked, binding firm, no smoke odor.

Ideal for collectors of Australian true-crime history, local Melbourne interest, or criminology shelves, the 296-page account offers a gripping, factual window into one of Victoria’s darkest days.
