Paul B. Kidd's 50 Crimes of the Century

When it comes to the bloodthirsty and cruel, Australia's bleak homicidal past stands alone throughout the world. Now crime historian Paul B. Kidd, who has spent a lifetime researching and writing about Australia's most terrible crimes, has taken on the unenviable task of chronicling the 50 stories he believes are the worst of the worst of the major cases in Australia's murderous history of the 20th century. The true stories you will read here are beyond horror or fiction and their perpetrators, while all sane, evil beyond belief. This book will leave you wondering how human beings can do such things to each other.
