Soon to be the subject of a major BBC TV drama, this is the only full-length study of Charles Sobrhaj - one of the world's greatest conmen, and notorious serial killers.
Richard Neville was an Australian writer and commentator who first
came to prominence as the editor of the counterculture magazine OZ.
Having travelled the 'pot trail' throughout the 1960s and 70s,
Neville was commissioned by Random House to write the story of
conman and serial killer, Charles Sobhraj. The result, The Life and
Crimes of Charles Sobhraj was a global bestseller. His books
include Play Power, Hippie, Hippie, Shake, Out of My Mind and
Amerika Pyscho. Neville died in 2016.
Julie Clarke trained as a journalist on the Sydney Telegraph before
joining ABC television. She later became a New York correspondent
for Australian Consolidated Press and worked as a TV producer. She
was commissioned to write The Life and Crimes of Charles Sobhraj
along with her partner Richard Neville, and endeavour that took the
pair all over the world for three years.
