An anonymous writer known only as the Flâneur shocked 1870’s Sydney society by revealing the city’s criminal underbelly.

Crime historian Elliot Lindsay joined the 2SER Breakfast show to chat about the hot gossip the Flâneur divulged in his Sydney Morning Herald expose, “Sydney by Night”, and other intriguing criminal tales.

Elliot will be leading history walking tours on 11 to 13 September from 9am to 10am. Get your tickets now from the BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival website.
