Produktbeschreibung
Written by one of the most unique authors in the world today, Roy Maloy is an iconic circus artist, impresario and author. The Dark Side of the Moon is a fascinating journey through the lives and cultures of the many individuals who each played a role in the shaping and growing of the Western Australian Luna Park. Often laced with underhanded and shady characters, the biography of Luna Park's Impresarios includes a number of fascinating crimes committed, conspiracies, cover ups, pistols shot, fist fights, jail sentences, fraud and infidelity in grand proportions. To many, the Luna Parks that were erected on Cottesloe Beach in 1928, and later on Scarborough Beach from 1939-1976 were a place of family fun, and magic. But for others, the sordid activities of gambling, prize fights and paying grafts to security guards all come together in and around the operations of Western Australia's Luna Parks, resulting in their demise in the late 1970s.

Autorenporträt
The Hunt for the Australian Ripper presents a number of the unique cases where other horrific crimes were committed that deliberately impersonated the original Jack the Ripper murders of 1888, incidents where the media leveraged off of the sensationalism of the legends, and the biography of the man who was accused of being the original Jack the Ripper himself!
