The old horse pulled the baker's van along its daily route, stopping and waiting for its usual customers in the peaceful village. But the driver's seat was empty, and the cart was drenched with blood...So began the Blairingone Bread Cart Murder, a gruesome case of highway robbery that ended with poacher Joseph Bell being hanged for ambushing John Miller and blasting him with a shotgun. This is just one of the bloody crimes that shocked the peaceful citizens of nineteenth-century Perthshire. Among the files liberated from the archives are: The Dunning murder of 1818, Scotland's oldest unsolved homicide; The six-month nationwide police manhunt for the murderer of a tollkeeper at Braco and the labourer who killed his former landlady near Blackford; The trio of armed robbers who threatened to burn a family alive - but escaped with only forged banknotes. There are also revelations from inside Perth's three successive jails - the High Street Tolbooth, the Speygate, and the modern prison - with secrets of daring escape attempts that didn't quite make it. The rogues' gallery includes footpads, wife-beaters, brutal aristocrats and ruthlessly violent whisky smugglers. There are tales of arson, assault, and theft - with one man finding that stealing sheep led straight to the gallows. All the executions that took place in nineteenth century Perth are described, some with heart-rending detail on the prisoners' last moments. The illustrations include the never-before-published death warrants for all those who were sentenced to be 'launched into eternity'.

One young woman missing, two found murdered -- the gripping true story of Australia's longest-running homicide investigation ** Winner of the Ned Kelly Award for True Crime 2021** In the early hours of January 27, 1996, after an evening spent celebrating at Club Bayview in the Perth suburb of Claremont, 18-year-old Sarah Spiers called a taxi to nearby Mosman Park. But when the cab arrived, she'd already gone. Sarah was never seen again. Four months later, on June 9, 1996, 23-year-old Jane Rimmer disappeared from the same area, her body later found in bushland south of Perth. When the body of a third young woman, 27-year-old Ciara Glennon, was found north of the city, having vanished from Claremont in August 1997, it was clear a serial killer was on the loose, and an entire city lived in fear he would strike again. A massive manhunt focused first on taxi drivers, then the outspoken local mayor and a quiet public servant. However, almost 20 years later, Australia's longest and most expensive investigation had failed to make an arrest, until forensic evidence linked the murders to two previous attacks -- and an unlikely suspect. Stalking Claremont, by local newsman Bret Christian, is a riveting story of promising young lives cut short, a city in panic, an investigation fraught by oversights and red herrings, and a surprising twist that absolutely no one saw coming.

Even great courts and independent judges can sometimes get things wrong. Reading this book, we should resolve to strengthen our defences against miscarriages of justice.' The Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG, past Justice of the High Court of Australia In 1994 Pamela Lawrence was brutally bashed to death in her jewellery shop in Perth. Police suspicion fell on a young drifter named Andrew Mallard. Although innocent, he was charged and convicted of this murder. It took 12 years and an epic struggle by Andrew's mother and sister, a team of lawyers and West Australian journalist Colleen Egan to right this wrong. Not only did their unrelenting battle for justice end in the High Court of Australia making a devastating judgment against the West Australian courts, but it also led to cold-case investigators identifying the real murderer. This is an emotional roller-coaster of a book, brilliantly and compellingly written. It is about justice, survival and what can happen when good people take on the system.

Sadistic serial killer couple David and Catherine Birnie claimed the lives of four young Perth women in a brutal rape and murder spree. But there was a fifth victim - a young woman whose unlikely escape from the killers' lair brought their reign of terror to an end, and who has remained silent about her ordeal for thirty years since. This is her story. Kate Moir was a bright and pretty eighteen-year-old when she was snatched off the street by David and Catherine Birnie, a cold, callous and deadly husband and wife team who had viciously raped and murdered at least four other women in Perth. But Kate wasn't going to go without a fight. Taken to their home, raped and held at knifepoint, Kate never stopped calculating the odds of her survival and doing everything she could to ensure she left evidence at the house. She escaped the following morning. It is extremely rare, almost unheard of, for a person to escape from the clutches of a serial killers once they have been marked for death. Serial killers are rarely caught and often their crimes remain unsolved or, alternately, are only discovered after their death. Having remained silent about being 'the fifth woman' for thirty years, and with the possibility of release for Catherine Birnie looming, Kate Moir is finally ready to tell her story.
