Focus On Faraday And Beyond
Biography & Memoir Australiana True Crime
Focus On Faraday And Beyond by Edwin John Eastwood revisits one of Australia’s most chilling true-crime sagas, the 1972 Faraday school kidnapping, and tracks its ripple effects through decades of local lore. Written for young-adult and adult readers, this 1992 illustrated biography blends criminology, courtroom drama, and regional history to show how a single bush-town siege reshaped national policing and public opinion.
Vintage collectors prize the Coeur De Lion first edition for its candid interviews and rarely seen photographs, all preserved here in clean, unmarked pages. The 250-page paperback remains free of handwriting, smoke odour, and dog-ears, making it shelf-ready for enthusiasts of Australian true crime, local history, or criminology texts.
Eastwood’s narrative goes beyond headlines, capturing the voices of Faraday residents and investigators to explain why the case still matters. Whether you study kidnapping law, seek regional Victoria stories, or simply want a gripping non-fiction read, this illustrated account delivers perspective without sensationalism.
