About This Item
Sydney, Ashfield: Bonmoat, 2003. Reprint ed.. Paperback large thick trade, very good condition, black & white & colour photos centre spread, minor edgewear. 394 pp. Journalist Kevin Perkins provides the extraordinary biography of Tim Bristow, who was a tough private eye who controlled the mean streets of Sydney. He bribed cops, belted criminals and bent the law to get justice for those who could not find it any other way. He was a pinstriped larrikin who came from an establishment family and a private school. Ruthless, he could also show compassion, helping the underdog and victims of a corrupt society often without payment. He was also a policeman, boxer, fashion and photographic model, world surf champion, diver, crocodile hunter and rugby player.
