The Job

Charlie Bezzina was one of Victoria's top Homicide detectives. In his 17 years in the Homicide Squad, he investigated more than 300 suspicious deaths, including 150 murders - among them the crimes of serial killer Paul Denyer, the killing of Melbourne gangland figure Alphonse Gangitano, the baffling disappearance of former gameshow model Jacquie Ramchen, and the death of former Test cricketer David Hookes.

This is the never-before-told story of Bezzina's rise from a sheltered childhood in a Maltese family in Melbourne's western suburbs; to a widely respected senior detective who served Victoria Police with distinction and unquestioned integrity for 37 years, culminating in his highly controversial departure from the Force.

Brimming with exclusive insights that only a seasoned detective can provide, The Job is an explosive and intriguing account of what it takes to be a criminal investigator at the highest level.
