'"
While you live, live in clover. For when you're dead, you're dead all over." — Squizzy Taylor
'Standover man. Armed robber. Sly-grog and drug dealer. Murderer.
'Touch the Black brings the secret world of Squizzy Taylor to life — from from the back streets of Richmond to the Fitzroy Vendetta and the deadly shoot-out with Snowy Cutmore.
'In razor-sharp prose touched with poetry Chris Grierson recreates 1920s Melbourne and the events that marked the rise and fall of one of Australia's most notorious gangsters.' (From the publisher's website.)
