The newspapers called her 'Australia's most beautiful bad woman'
and she was deadly to know... This is the story of 'pretty' Dulcie
Markham, a key figure of the underworld of Sydney, Melbourne,
Brisbane and Perth, who, according to one crime reporter, 'saw more
violence and death than any other woman in Australia's history'.
Nicknamed the 'Black Widow' and 'Angel of Death' by the crooks,
reporters and police who knew her best, Dulcie's lovers were
stabbed and gunned down in the most violent years of Australian
crime, the 1920s to the 1950s. Not always by her ... PRAISE 'For
readers new to the history of this appalling yet enthralling era of
organised crime, the book will simply astonish' Catie Gilchrist,
author of Murder, Misadventure and Miserable Ends, Tales from a
Colonial Coroner's Court
