| Description: |
|
They can be trapped, poisoned, shot or hunted with dogs ... but some always get away. These are the vermin that commit robbery, extortion, abduction,rape and murder. Sometimes we know who they are. Sometimes we suspect. Sometimes we only know the damage they do.
Arthur Stanley Brown, a Queensland pensioner, took unspeakable secrets to the grave. An unknown man dubbed 'Mr Cruel' abducted schoolgirls from their himes and has never paid the penalty for rape and murder. Neither has the secret monster who took Eloise Worledge from her room.
There are also the stories of underworld rivalry, of greed and lust and love gone wrong. The man who planned the Great Bookie Robbery was shot dead by a cool assassion in a busy city court. Was it a criminal rival avenging a friend's murder - or a bent policeman silencing Bennett before he spilled the beans on 'the brotherhood'?
Rocky Iaria was buried with a bag of lime in someone else's grave for years - until a gravedigger dug up the grisly truth. And what about the gruesome death of horse trainer George Brown? Was he killed because he refused to be part of a race-fixing racket? |
