Barrenjoey Road by Ruby Jones; Neil Mercer (As told to)

$34.99 AUD

Category: True Crime

A gripping expose of a notorious cold case 1978. An idyllic beachside community. A series of abductions and rapes. So what happened to Trudie Adams? The disappearance of 18-year-old Trudie Adams while hitchhiking home on Sydney's northern beaches in 1978 left her family and community devastated. When police began to investigate, the dark underbelly of the so-called 'insular peninsula' was exposed, where surfers ran drugs home from Bali, teenagers hitchhiked everywhere due to the lack of public transport, gangs of men prowled the beaches and the roads, and predators abducted and raped countless young women, crimes rarely reported or investigated. Inspired by the award-winning #1 podcast and ABC TV series and containing new revelations never previously revealed, Barrenjoey Road is the gripping expose of why the case was never solved. It takes us all the way to the top, from a criminal perpetrator with a lifelong record and links to organised crime who was never formally accused, to police corruption at the highest level. ...Show more

Talking with Psychopaths: A Journey into the Evil Mind by Christopher Berry-Dee

$19.99 AUD

Category: True Crime

In Talking With Psychopaths, bestselling author and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee takes readers deep inside the dark minds of some of the most pitiless and dangerous people alive. Having spent years interviewing imprisoned criminals - including notorious serial killers - he discovered that the lac k of remorse these people showed was in many ways even more terrifying than the crimes they had committed. Yet in the course of these conversations, the author also had the chance to interview his subjects' psychiatrists and, in doing so, uncovered a terrible truth: a monster can be hidden behind a friendly face. Some of these experts, he found, proved to have more in common with their patients than he would ever have expected. This book examines horrific crimes committed by some of the most remorseless and merciless people ever to have lived. If it reveals a mindset wholly alien to most people, it also, shockingly, demonstrates that some of the people who treat these psychopaths have their own demons. Talking with Psychopaths will inevitably shift the reader's view of psychopaths, and in doing so, reveals that horror can be much closer to us than we think... ...Show more

Category: True Crime

'John Douglas is the FBI's pioneer and master of investigative profiling, and one of the most exciting figures in law enforcement I've had the privilege of knowing' Patricia Cornwell 'John Douglas knows more about serial killers than anybody in the world' Jonathan Demme, Director of The Silence of the Lambs In The Killer Across the Table, legendary FBI criminal profiler and number one bestselling author John Douglas delves deep into the lives and crimes of four of the most disturbing and complex predatory killers he's encountered, offering never-before-revealed details about his profiling process and divulging the strategies used to crack some of his most challenging cases. Former Special Agent John Douglas has sat across the table from many of the world's most notorious killers - including Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, 'Coed Killer' Edmund Kemper, 'Son of Sam Killer' David Berkowitz and 'BTK Strangler' Dennis Rader, and has also been instrumental in the exoneration of Amanda Knox and the West Memphis Three. He has gone on to become a legend in the world of criminal investigative analysis, and his work has inspired TV shows and films such as Mindhunter, Criminal Minds and The Silence of the Lambs. In this riveting work of true crime, Douglas spotlights four very different criminals he's confronted over the course of his career, and explains how they helped him to put together the puzzle of how psychopaths and predators think. Taking us inside the interrogation room and demonstrating the unique techniques he uses to understand the workings of the most terrifying and incomprehensible minds, The Killer Across the Table is an unputdownable journey into the darkest reaches of criminal profiling and behavioural science from a man who knows serial killers better than anyone else. As Douglas says: 'If you want to understand the artist, look at his art.' If you want to understand what makes a murderer, start here. ...Show more

Somebody Knows Something: On the Trail of the Tynong and North Frankston Serial Killer by Williams Brian

$32.99 AUD

Available Stock:
2

Category: True Crime

This captivating account of the Tynong and North Frankston serial killings has been written by Brian Williams to mark the 40 anniversary of the murders. On 6th December 1980, the skeletal remains of three female murder victims were uncovered ritualistically concealed in the bushland that abuts Brew Road in Tynong North, a previously non-descript rural area 63 kilometres to the east of Melbourne. These unfortunate victims - 14-year-old Catherine Headland, 18-year-old Ann-Marie Sargent and 73-year-old Bertha Miller had all mysteriously disappeared in broad daylight several months earlier, all whilst waiting at or near suburban bus stops in Melbourne's south-east. These murders were soon linked to two other disappearances, that of 59-year-old Allison Rooke and 55-year-old Joy Summers. Both these women had also recently vanished from nearby bus stops in the outer south-east beachside suburb of Frankston, before their naked and decomposing bodies were found concealed in scrubland next to busy roads in the same area. To complete the ghastly picture, the body of 34-year-old Narumol Stephenson - who had also randomly disappeared in 1980 - was later uncovered at the same Tynong North burial ground used to dump the bodies of three of the previous victims. In recent times, another murder - that of Margaret Elliott in 1975 - has also been linked to the same crimes. Her body was found concealed near a suburban creek, next to the same path used by Bertha Miller to walk to her local bus stop. To date, the opportunistic and devious person (or persons) responsible for this string of ghastly murders of innocent women and girls has evaded capture. With a known body count of at least 6-7 victims, these hideous crimes not only represent one of the most chilling examples of serial killing in Australian history, but have also become one of the nation's greatest criminal mysteries. During nearly four decades of extensive investigations, police have established several major taskforces, conducted over 2000 official interviews, and publicly identified a number of suspects. Over the years, the case has also taken a remarkable number of twists and turns. Many urban myths and curious links have evolved - at one point it was even suggested that a man was dressing as a woman to lure unsuspecting women into a car. It was also suspected that the killer had sent correspondence to authorities, and a Christmas card to the family of one of the victims, in which hints about the crimes were alluded to and boasts were made that these crimes would eventually make Adelaide's Truro murders 'look like kid stu '. There is still a clear optimism that these outrageous crimes can still be solved. A record $6 million reward has even been posted to help catch the killer(s). Clearly, somebody still knows something - and it is now time for the full story to be told. ...Show more
