Biography & Memoir History True Crime
David Hickie’s Chow Hayes Gunman resurrects the fierce underworld legend of Sydney’s most feared gunman, tracing his violent rise from street fighter to headline-making outlaw. This gripping Australian true-crime biography delivers 368 pages of fast-paced, well-researched history that will hook fans of bushranger tales and 20th-century organised crime alike.
This scarce 1990 first edition paperback, printed by Angus & Robertson, carries vintage appeal for collectors of Australiana and crime memorabilia. A neat previous-owner inscription appears on the front inner cover; light foxing touches only the first two leaves, leaving the remaining pages fresh, tight, and free of smoke odour.
Ideal for adults, teens, and even mature middle-grade readers exploring Australia’s shadowy past, the book pairs gritty storytelling with geographic and social insight. Secure binding and clean text make it ready for immediate reading or display alongside other classic true-crime titles.
