The Outlaw's Story

This is the remarkable, true story of Australia's most notorious criminals. Brenden James Abbott became as famous for his ability to elude the authorities as he did for the daring bank raids he carried out—he escaped from custody three times and was on the run for a total of almost seven years. In this astounding and gripping book, he reveals how he pulled off two daring escapes from maximum-security prisons and executed some of Australia's most profitable and complex bank robberies. He also reveals how his skills with disguises and fake identification allowed him to repeatedly slip through the fingers of oblivious police.
