Overview

Through a chorus of voices from those who loved, loather, and feared him, Squizzy Taylors Storied Life paints a vivid portrait of Melbournes most notorious anti-hero in the early 20th century. Rising from a junior member of Melbournes Bourke Street Rats to the undisputed Tzar of the underworld, he moved through crooked pony racing, petty theft, blackmail, pimping, and ultimately murder, becoming a talented but flawed figure who, through his exploits, captured public fascination. Often suspected but rarely convicted, Squizzy Taylor was renowned as the man who made the bullets for others to fire... until his own life ended in a hail of bullets in a dingy Carlton house in October 1927. James Morton and Susanna Lobez are the bestselling co-authors of 13 true crime books. This is their first historical fiction.
