Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to edges and corners. Dust jacket has creasing at edges with spine top and tail protected with book tape. Small tear to top right front cover is also protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still excellent.

On 15 June 1862, a gang of bushrangers held up a gold escort at Eugowra, just east of Forbes, NSW. They escaped with a pile of cash and 77 kilograms of gold, worth about $10 million today. It remains the largest gold robbery in Australian history.

In this riveting re-creation of the events, James Phelps finally tells the whole story of how Frank Gardiner, Ben Hall, John O'Meally, Johnny Gilbert, Henry Manns, Alexander Fordyce, John Bow and Dan Charters planned and executed the robbery - and what happened to all that gold.

Australian Heist is a thrilling, fast-paced and thoroughly modern take on one of the most extraordinary episodes in the nation's history by Australia's number-one true-crime writer. (book flap)
