David Hickie’s Chow Hayes Gunman brings 1990 first-edition grit to true-crime shelves, chronicling the razor-sharp life of one of Sydney’s most feared standover men. This vintage Angus & Robertson paperback tracks the razor gang era through 368 tightly bound pages, offering Australian history buffs and biography lovers an unfiltered look at the city’s criminal underbelly.

The book is in good, collectible shape: clean text blocks, a firm spine, and only light foxing confined to the first two leaves. A previous owner has inscribed the inside front cover, adding a personal touch that sets this copy apart without claiming author provenance. Stored smoke-free, it presents well for reading or display.

Ideal for young adult and adult readers curious about real-life anti-heroes, Chow Hayes Gunman blends biography with social history and remains a sought-after title among Australian true-crime collectors.
