Biography & Memoir History True Crime
One Down, One Missing teams veteran detective Joe D'Alo with crossword maestro David Astle to recount the inside hunt for the killers of Silk and Miller, the 1998 Victorian police murders that shook Australia. This first-edition 2003 paperback blends biography, true crime and Melbourne history into a fast-paced narrative that true-crime buffs and young adults alike devour.
Colour photo images place readers at the homicide scenes, while D'Alo’s first-hand perspective lifts the lid on Australian police units, criminology and the painstaking detective work behind one of the country’s most talked-about cases. The 291-page Hardie Grant title is a must-have for collectors of Australian crime, biographies and real-life detective stories.
This copy carries a neat previous-owner inscription (not author-signed) and shows only light cover scuffing; the pages are clean, tight and free of dog-ears or smoke odour. A small pen mark over a name is the sole interior blemish, making it a tidy addition to any true-crime shelf.
