SQUIZZY - Second EditionComparable to only Al Capone, Ned Kelly, the Kray Twins and Bonnie and Clyde, Squizzy Taylor was one the most prolific and iconic criminals in the history of Western civilisation. In the 100 years since his death, almost no author has had the tenacity to take on the enormous task of compiling a biography of the man who existed behind the legend that became Squizzy Taylor. But now, Australia’s most prolific true crime biographer, Roy Maloy, presents the story of Squizzy Taylor in one complete work. In this second edition with over 600 pages that includes over 50 photographs, witness statements, forensics reports and police testimonies, the entirety of Squizzy’s life of crime is finally told!Spanning over 150 years of history, from his father’s upbringing in Sandhurst, through his adolescence as a street pickpocket, violent thug and standover man, passing by the Fitzroy Vendetta, and his yearlong escape from the law with Ida Pender to the pistol fight that took his life, this is truly an epic and spectacular work that finally preserves and presents the father of modern Australian crime - Squizzy Taylor.
