Reasonable Doubt

The killing of a human being is always extraordinary, but the killings and attempted killings in this book go way past that. They are heart-rending, blackly comic or just plain outlandish.

Did David Hookes really scare the living daylights out of a pub bouncer? Was Mick Gatto really shooting in self-defence? Can you shoot your wife while sleepwalking? How far do you have to be pushed before you point a sniper gun at your husband? Would you really be driven to murder if your wife and mother-in-law attacked you in your bed?

This is true crime at its most compelling.
