Fugitive. Womaniser. Comedian. Conman. Chameleon.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFully revised and updated with exclusive anecdotes and pictures, this is the story of the man who became Australia's most feared bank robber and notorious prison breaker. Three times Brenden Abbott escaped custody, and for more than six years during the nineties he evaded capture, hoodwinking the nation and strongarming millions of dollars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePossessing enormous talents and chutzpah, Abbott proved quick to learn, quicker to joke and as cool as ice in the face of danger. After escaping under a hail of gunfire, he became the nation's most-wanted man, and following his recapture he was incarcerated in solitary confinement for years-perhaps longer than any other Australian. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the 'Postcard Bandit' is more than a dramatised legend-a role he never encouraged. Now fighting for justice and freedom, Abbott is eager to be released to spend time with his son. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an extraordinary inside account, painstakingly researched by an experienced journalist over decades, and includes Abbott's own pithy recollections and reflections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Derek Pedley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47742857445543,"sku":"9781761473937","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4945\/4503\/files\/ThePostcardBandit-Pedley-2026-9781761473937.jpg?v=1769598988","url":"https:\/\/www.murderousink.com.au\/products\/the-postcard-bandit","provider":"Murderous Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
