We are thrilled to share the news that Simon & Schuster will be publishing Ian W Shaw’s next (and 12th!) book – a page-turning and carefully-researched account of Frank Gardiner.
Considered the godfather of Australian bushranging, Frank Gardiner was a complex character within Australian colonial history – equal parts gentleman and felon.
This is the story of a man who, with a hand-picked band of followers, would control the roads leading to and from Australia’s richest goldfields for almost two years. A man who planned and directed the greatest armed robbery in Australia’s history. And a man who then walked away from crime to start a new life with the woman he loved.
The book will be published in the second half of 2024.
