Where it came from
Published in 2013 by Allen & Unwin, this work by Scott Bainbridge revisits one of the most notorious criminal cases in New Zealand history, the 1963 Bassett Road machine-gun murders. The book emerged from Bainbridge’s extensive investigative research into the gangland execution of two men in an Auckland boarding house, a crime that shocked the public due to the use of a submachine gun, an rarity in the local criminal landscape of the era.
Bainbridge’s narrative approach seeks to provide a definitive account of the event, meticulously reconstructing the events leading up to the murders and the subsequent police investigation. The book is valued by crime historians for its thorough sourcing and its effort to contextualize the violence within the changing social fabric of 1960s Auckland, receiving recognition for its contribution to New Zealand’s true-crime literature.
