Biography & Memoir True Crime Crime & Mystery
Job: Fighting Crime from the Frontline puts readers inside the high-stakes world of veteran Victorian homicide detective Charlie Bezzina. This 2010 Australian true-crime memoir delivers frontline stories of Melbourne’s most chilling cases, told with the blunt honesty only a 39-year police veteran can provide.
Sixteen pages of colour crime-scene and behind-badge photographs intensify the narrative, making Bezzina’s recollections of manhunts, courtrooms and victim encounters feel immediate. The 352-page paperback from Geoff Slattery Publishing balances procedural detail with local history, appealing to true-crime devotees, criminology students and anyone curious about Melbourne’s underbelly.
This personalised copy has been inscribed by the author to a named owner, a bonus collectors rarely see. While the cover carries light scuffing typical of shelf life and the front endpapers show previous owner’s notes, the reading block remains tight and unmarked, ensuring every gripping page turns cleanly.
A smoke-free home has preserved the crisp pages; the binding is strong and ready for its next reader. Add this signed-by-hand, photo-rich edition of Charlie Bezzina’s Job to your Australian crime library before another sleuth snaps it up.
