In Your Face: The Life and Times of Billy "The Texan" Longley by Rochelle Jackson is a gritty Australian true-crime biography that charts the violent rise and fall of one of the nation’s most feared underworld figures. Rochelle Jackson’s fast-paced narrative blends court transcripts, police files and first-hand interviews to show how Longley’s swaggering nickname masked a ruthless enforcer for Melbourne’s Painters and Dockers union.

This 2005 ABC Books trade paperback is illustrated with rare photos that bring the docks, jail yards and courtroom dramas to life. The pages are clean, tightly bound and free of dog-ears; a previous owner has inscribed the front endpaper, making the copy unique without claiming author signature status.

Ideal for readers who love Australian organised-crime history, true-criller fans and collectors of illustrated biographies, the book reads like fiction yet stays anchored in meticulous research. From a smoke-free home, it’s ready to slot straight onto your true-crime shelf.
