This case. I bought the only one which is called Jailing the Johnston Gang and I was very disappointed. It didn’t give us much info on the tractor gang or the kiddie gang . Most of it was focused on the investigation and court proceedings . I’d love a book that goes into detail about the Johnston gang and family - their crimes and reputation . Also would like to know about Robyn Miller and junior gang members that were killed . It’s very hard to find info on them

This is a great case(and amazing movie) but I feel like it will be mostly forgotten from here on out

Yeah it's a fascinating story. Didn't know much about it until I saw the movie.

I was just thinking of reading that book, if it's not that in depth, then I agree with you. Another heavily influenced by a true story or events I'd love to read in a book would be Heat (1995), the real cop and robber story behind it all.
