A true crime classic, the bestselling Huckstepp investigates the murder of a charismatic woman who has fascinated Australians since she first appeared on national television to accuse NSW detectives of shooting her boyfriend in cold blood. Throughout her short life, Sallie-Anne Huckstepp lived a dangerous existence. This is a true story, brilliantly told, of a courageous woman who spoke out against corruption and murder. 'A significant, original work that challenges as much as it reveals.' The Australian 'Dale nails the treachery, corruption and decadence of a part of Sydney society that traces its origins to the Rum Corps.'
