The Skull by Adam Shand delivers a gritty, illustrated dive into Australia’s criminal underworld, tracing the life of the country’s most feared detective and the informers and hit men who orbited around him. This 2009 Black Inc. paperback blends true crime, biography and Australian history to keep armchair investigators hooked from first page to last.

The book’s 294 pages remain crisp and readable: spine uncreased, binding tight, no notes or dog ears, just a barely-thumbed corner to show it was loved. At 235 mm tall it sits proudly on any shelf, and the 470 g heft feels substantial without being unwieldy.

Ideal for young adults and adults fascinated by police memoirs or Australian true crime, this copy comes from a smoke-free home and is ready for its next reader. Grab this clean 2009 edition and step into the murky Melbourne streets where loyalty had a price and one cop tried to name it.
