The Fatal Friendship by Ian Jones explores the turbulent bonds between Ned Kelly, Aaron Sherritt and Joe Byrne, casting new light on Australia’s most mythologised outlaws. This 2003 Hachette Australia paperback blends true crime with social history, tracing how loyalty and betrayal shaped the Kelly Gang’s final years.

Richly illustrated and grounded in the author’s lifelong research, the 280-page chronicle appeals to adults and young adults hooked on local history and bushranger lore. Jones, a respected Kelly historian, unpacks the tensions of 1870s north-east Victoria without sensationalising the violence.

This personalised copy carries Ian Jones’s signature plus a discreet ownership sticker on the cover, offering fans a tangible link to the storyteller himself. Light yellowing to the page edges is the only sign of age; the book remains square, tight and free of markings or dog-ears.

Ideal for collectors of Australian true crime or anyone seeking a fresh perspective on the Kelly outbreak, The Fatal Friendship is ready for immediate reading or gifting. Secure a piece of bushranger history today.
