“This book is brilliant and accurate reportage of a scourge of evil perpetrated by a monster who destroyed Australia’s innocence forever.” -- BRYCE COURTENAY
Ivan Milat is sitting in his cell when he hears about the latest discovery of a skeleton in the Belanglo State Forest.
It is more than 14 years since one of Australia’s worst serial killers was jailed for the rest of his natural life for the murder of seven young backpackers. The trademark grin shoots across his aging face. Once again he is in control.
Roger Maynard’s chilling inside story of the crime which shocked the world takes a fresh look at the case and the long-held theory that there were two killers.
He goes back to the investigation and the trial and returns to some of the key players for their thoughts on what really took place in Belanglo two decades ago.
This updated account of the original story also looks at what’s happened to Ivan Milat since he was found guilty and incarcerated in the Supermax wing of Goulburn jail.
How many more people did he kill? Did he have an accomplice? These and other critical issues are examined in Maynard’s devastating profile of the Australian whose reign of terror shocked the world.
