Graham Seal finds and writes ripper, fair-dinkum, true blue Aussie yarns. His books are great reads. - The Weekly Times

Australia's Most Infamous Criminals takes you on a journey through Australia's rich history of cold cases, notorious robberies, shameless frauds, and razor gangs, uncovering a cast of colourful villains. From the men and women who stepped off the convict ships and continued to ply their trade, to the dark streets of the burgeoning towns and cities over the next couple of centuries, it's a fascinating array of tales.

Discover Australia's worst serial killer, a woman from Perth responsible for over 30 deaths, the tale of the lolly shop murders, the world's first plane hijacking, the great bookie robbery, and the black widow of Richmond. Explore lesser-known stories from some of Australia's best-known criminals, including Tilly Devine, Squizzy Taylor, Iris Weber, Francis Deeming, and of course, Ned Kelly. You'll also learn about practitioners of the long con you'll hear about for the first time.

The inventive scams, dramatic escapes, and vile deeds of our most infamous criminals will keep you turning the pages.
