Biography & Memoir History True Crime
Chow Hayes Gunman by David Hickie is the gritty, first-edition biography of Australia’s most feared 20th-century underworld figure. Hickie, a veteran crime reporter, charts Hayes’s rise from street fighter to Sydney’s most wanted, delivering a fast-paced, true-crime narrative that history buffs and biography lovers devour.
This 1990 Angus & Robertson paperback is a scarce vintage find, now warmly inscribed on the front endpaper. Light foxing touches only the first two leaves; beyond that, the 368 pages remain crisp, bright, and tightly bound—clean, tidy, and from a smoke-free home.
Collectors prize first printings of Hickie’s work, and an inscribed copy of Chow Hayes Gunman rarely surfaces in such solid condition. Grab a piece of Australian true-crime history before it disappears.
