Job: Fighting Crime from the Frontline

Biography & Memoir True Crime Crime & Mystery

Job: Fighting Crime from the Frontline puts readers in the passenger seat with veteran homicide detective Charlie Bezzina as he revisits Melbourne’s most chilling cases. This 2010 Australian true-crime memoir blends autobiography and police procedural, giving a street-level view of what it takes to crack homicides and organised-crime syndicates.

The book is signed by the author himself and features 16 pages of colour photographs—crime-scene shots, evidence, and behind-the-scenes images rarely seen outside the force. At 352 pages, it’s a substantial paperback that balances gritty detail with the human cost of life on the job.

Condition-wise, the copy is clean and tight, with no dog-eared pages or smoke odour. The cover carries only light scuffing and creasing from normal shelf life, while the binding remains strong and ready for another full read-through. Perfect for collectors of Australian true crime, criminology students, or anyone who loves a candid cop memoir.
