Grave Tales (e-book) (used book) | Helen Goltz | bookbook.eu

Description

PLEASE NOTE: this is a compilation of cold cases as featured in our existing nine Grave Tales titles.

Crimes that go unpunished, destined to never be solved, do not allow the stories to end when the victims are laid to rest. These stories start in the graveyards of Australia and as they are largely historic crimes, hold little hope for resolution. In this volume are tales that took away our innocence, shocked us with their cruelty, and at the time, struck fear into the heart of the community. They live on in our history for justice is never served.

The stories in this volume are:

1. The Boxing Day murders - the Murphy siblings

2. Something fishy in Coogee: the shark arm murders - Patrick Brady

3. The 'Pyjama Girl' mystery

4. The hands that shaped the noose - Colin Campbell Ross and Alma Tirtschke

5. The poisoning of Mrs Roche

6. The Mystery of Mollie - The Mollie Thompson story

7. Sister or a mister? Bertha and Martha Schippan

8. Once was bright and beautiful - Betty Shanks

9. Australia's first serial killer? Robert Francis Burns

10. Missing, presumed drowned: the Prime Minister Harold Holt

11. Street fighter - Juanita Nielsen

12. Death along Dead Horse Gully - Chrissie Venn

13. Mr & the Mrs Harry Crawfords - Eugenia Falleni

14. The alleged murder of Mrs Wilhelamina Brauer
