Expanding on the success of Badlands, Return to Badlands is a collection of the bold and the bizarre in contemporary crime from across the nation. In these pages are a criminal stew of jailbreakers, smash-and-grab merchants and cult fanatics, plus a fair dose of action, gunplay, high-speed chases, looting, shooting and romantic intrigue.

This second lap of Australia's badlands starts with a jilted bride sending her groom to a fiery grave and closes with a violent robber in a Tasmanian jail. In between there is the endlessly diverse parade of humanity on display: the good, the amusing, the cunning, the inept and the truly disturbing. From mum and dad armed robbers who bring babysitters in to free themselves up for a good night's pillaging, to a partly-innocent serial killer and a partly-guilty police force, there is plenty here to shock and entertain.
