Murder on Easey Street
Author: Helen Thomas
Publisher: Black Inc.
ISBN: 174382078X
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
1977, Collingwood. Two young women are brutally murdered. The killer has never been found. What happened in the house on Easey Street? On a warm night in January, Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett were savagely murdered in their house on Easey Street, Collingwood – stabbed multiple times while Suzanne’s sixteen-month-old baby slept in his cot. Although police established a list of more than 100 ‘persons of interest’, the case became one of the most infamous unsolved crimes in Melbourne. Journalist Helen Thomas was a cub reporter at The Age when the murders were committed and saw how deeply they affected the city. Now, forty-two years on, she has re-examined the cold case – chasing down new leads and talking to members of the Armstrong and Bartlett families, the women’s neighbours on Easey Street, detectives and journalists. What emerges is a portrait of a crime rife with ambiguities and contradictions, which took place at a fascinating time in the city’s history – when the countercultural bohemia of Helen Garner’s Monkey Grip brushed up against the grit of the underworld in one of Melbourne’s most notorious suburbs. Why has the Easey Street murderer never been found, despite the million-dollar reward for information leading to an arrest? Did the women know their killer, or were their deaths due to a random, frenzied attack? Could the murderer have killed again? This gripping account addresses these questions and more as it sheds new light on one of Australia’s most disturbing and compelling criminal mysteries. ‘An overdue examination of the Easey Street murders that adds tantalising new information to known and forgotten facts.’ —Andrew Rule, journalist and co-author of Underbelly ‘Helen Thomas’ meticulous examination [is] chilling reading.’ —The Age

Corners of Melbourne
Author: Robyn Annear
Publisher: Text Publishing
ISBN: 192279158X
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
What better defines a city than its street corners? A corner gives you a starting point, a destination and a place to turn. It’s furnished with pillar boxes, newsstands and tram stops, and lamp-posts for light and lounging. Where would you be likeliest to find a pub? At the corner, of course. And who better than Robyn Annear to usher you around the corners of Melbourne, and reveal their bizarre, baroque and mostly forgotten stories? In this (appropriately corner-shaped) book she will introduce you to: street-corner ‘galvanisers’ who offered the thrill of electric shock at threepence a time the rude boys of the Fitzroy back streets who became the original ‘larrikins’ infants named for the corners on which they’d been abandoned a rogues’ gallery of unruly women, incorrigible men and runaway horses ...and, of course, the civic reprobates who discarded orange peel in the streets, to the endangerment of life and limb. Robyn Annear’s books include Bearbrass: Imagining Early Melbourne, Nothing but Gold: The Diggers of 1852, Nothing New: A History of Second-hand and Adrift in Melbourne. Her podcast ‘Nothing on TV’ presents stories from Trove historical newspapers. Robyn also appeared in the popular 2022 documentary, The Lost City of Melbourne. ‘Annear tackles her sprawling subject matter with her trademark wit and her knack for singling out the perfect historical reference.’ Age ‘An unexpected delight. Annear writes history with a smile but with a deadly acerbic stare...On this tour of Melbourne we are in the best possible hands.’ Saturday Paper
