Reviews of
Outside the Law 3
"...one minute you are
frivolously enjoying stories of gangsters, happily cocooned in all the
pop-culture resonances, but the next chapter throws at you something so
obscene that you wonder if you want to keep reading.... the quality of
the writing... is high." Owen Richardson, The Age, 15 August 2009"Expect to be moved to tears of sadness... that some of these monsters are never caught. But also expect to feel pride and admiration for trhe men and women who work so hard tro try to obtain justice..." Phyllis King, Stilletto Winter 2009 (Official magazine of Sisters In Crime Australia Inc)
"The good thing about this collection is the balance of stories, from the desperately sad and distressing, to the infuriating and the brazen, along with some very funny moments. None of the funny moments are overdone, belittling or cruel - but, in particular, the story of the newspaper roundsman has some laugh out loud moments as the antics are revealed. There are some touching moments as well - the story of journalist John Allin and the family of Kirste, kidnapped all those years ago in Adelaide as an example."

"Fascinating but not for the faint-hearted. Verdict: juicy." Herald Sun, 19 September 2009
‘Outside the Law 2 and 3: Australian True Crime Stories’ are both great reads... I have no hesitation in recommending both books to readers of the Australian Police Journal." - Greg Byrne, APJ newsletter December 2009
