Download or read book The Frankston Train written by Jeremy Wohlers and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Frankston Train follows the misadventures of a true denizen of ‘Franghanistan’, Neeley Glasscock. His first world complacency is shattered when he is embroiled in that quintessentially Australian public disturbance, a racist rant on public transport. The Frankston Train is a satire about overt racism and unconscious bias that tests the claim, which is often repeated by luminaries like the present Prime Minister, that ‘Australia is the most successful multicultural society in the world.’ It is easy to identify with Neeley Glasscock; after all, who hasn’t witnessed some disconcerting or unsettling incident on a train, tram, or bus. And like Neeley Glasscock, we have all faced that dilemma of the petty existential hero or heroine – whether to intervene or not, whether to speak up or remain silent. Predictably, in the age of the ubiquitous cell phone, vision of this deplorable episode goes viral. All those involved become instant celebrities. Neeley’s employer, a pay-day lender, tries to exploit Neeley’s fifteen minutes of fame; however, chaos ensues when Neeley devises a devious plan to punish his employer’s cynicism and atone for his moral turpitude.

Download or read book The Frankston Murders written by Vikki Petraitis and published by Clan Destine Press. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five years ago, serial killer Paul Denyer terrorised the bayside suburb of Frankston.Twenty-five years later, the trauma of his seven-week killing spree still haunts the community. The spate of murders in 1993 touched many more lives than just the three victims. All of Melbourne was gripped with fear, as Frankston and surrounding suburbs were flooded with police hunting the serial killer of three young women. It began on June 11 when Elizabeth Stevens was murdered on her way home from the library. On July 8, Debbie Fream who'd left her 12-day-old baby with a friend while she dashed out for milk, was abducted and killed. Three weeks later, Year 12 student, Natalie Russell, was brutally murdered on her way home from school. When Paul Denyer, an odd young man, was arrested the day after Natalie's body was found, the police and public were shocked by his lack of emotion. Denyer, who was only 21-years-old, spoke of the three young women with contempt as he described their final moments. Their deaths had simply fuelled his bloodlust. Eleven years later, just as the public's memory of the Frankston murders began to fade, convicted serial killer, Paul Denyer, made front-page news with his quest to become a woman. The Frankston Murders: 25 years on details the shocking crimes and explores the lingering effects of what Denyer did. Now 25-years-old, Debbie Fream's son Jake speaks for the first time about the loss of his mother. And Carmel and Brian Russell share their dream for Denyer's ongoing incarceration, as the killer of their child will be eligible to apply for parole for the first time in 2023.

Book excerpt: "Is Peter Klein Australia's answer to Dick Francis? As with Francis, Klein knows the territory intimately with his autobiography of racing life, A Strapper's Tale, selling out within months. He turns out to be a dab hand at crime fiction, too.

THE AGE Pick of the Week John Punter, professional gambler and amateur private investigator, has seen his fair share of crime and shady dealings, both on the race track and off it. So when the daughter of a bookmaker friend is abducted, following hot on the heels of a gruesome murder after an abduction-gone-wrong, Punter's offer of help is gladly accepted. But then, just when everything seems to be going right, a local trainer hits a run of unusual bad luck and a young jockey dies under suspicious circumstances. With the help of a journalist friend, Kate, Punter begins to put the pieces together, and finds himself drawn into a tangled web of underworld crimes that are much more sinister than he had anticipated...

Book excerpt: Vikki Petraitis took to writing true crime because, unlike crime fiction, it was so raw and it told the story of real people, real grief, real loss, real horror.A school teacher by day, Vikki had no idea that writing one book about one unsolved murder would give her a second career that has run alongside her chosen profession for 25 years.She has researched, investigated and written about real Australian crimes, from the well-known to the obscure; and interviewed countless police, crime scene professionals, victims, survivors and families. She did ride-alongs with members of Victoria Police so she could learn about their most memorable cases, and found herself right there with them when a serial killer's third victim was found. Vikki spent time with the dog squad learning how the four-legged police officers are trained to work with their two-legged partners. And she's become biographer to two well-known former cops, and to one of the many victims of institutional child abuse. Her career as a true crime writer has resulted in 13 books and counting, with subjects and titles as diverse as The Frankston Serial Killer, Crime Scene Investigations, Forensics, Cops, Once a Copper: Brian 'the Skull' Murphy, and the one that started it all - The Phillip Island Murder. Inside the Law is Vikki's life in crime; a collection of her favourite, personally influential, most memorable stories with a fresh narrative thread of the why, when and how she came to write them.

Download or read book Struth The Bloody Truth written by Iarn Pernell and published by Book Venture Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how we’ve all been living according to a reality that exists only in our own mind’s creation of what we believe to be reality. It explains how the church has manipulated the purely natural human emotion of fear to instill a belief in their god. Just as each different religion has their god as the only true god, so too does every individual. “Astrology” is a word used to describe the energies that permeate life on Earth and, as once believed by now-ancient civilizations that were overtaken and nearly destroyed by religion, is the energy responsible for everything that manifests in life and, in fact, life itself. For too long now, man has lived under the fear of damnation in hell as a result of living against the word of the church’s god, which is only a creation of the church in order to preside over the minds of the masses for their own benefit. Great monuments and rituals have been created by the church to give their god relevance and impress mankind to believe in a myth that exists solely for the purpose of gaining power over our mind and actions. The French and Spanish Inquisitions are but one example of the total control the church almost achieved. But truth cannot be changed, for to do so is to manipulate the truth for your own selfish purposes. Religion is in a constant state of change because religion is only a manipulation of philosophy. Astrology has never changed over the hundreds of thousands of years that man has been observing the movements of the stars. We are all only energy, just as is the light given from the stars and energy responds to energy. Thus, we are all subject to a greater energy than our ego permits us to believe.
