Australia is not short on stories of murder and mysterious deaths --all chilling, many unresolved, and most still screaming with unanswered questions: What impels a man to open fire on a cafe full of tourists? How could a young girl stab her school friend 47 times in the neck, spraying the ceiling and walls with blood? Who is responsible for the Snowtown murders? In this Australian classic, crime writer Kerry Greenwood presents an outstanding collection of the finest crime writing,trenchant, hard-hitting and defined by a keen intelligence and sensitivity.
