JUST ANOTHER LITTLE MURDER A Brother's Pursuit of Justice

Softcover. Featuring the brutal murder of the author's sister, Vicki Cleary by Peter Raymond Keogh. It should have been easy, but neither family nor the law could stop this man from murdering Vicki Cleary. On a sunny August morning in 1987, outside the kindergarten where she worked, Peter Keogh stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death. When the author heard the jury's verdict of not guilty on grounds of provocation, he was outraged by the criminal justice system that let a bad man get away with murder. For the next 14yrs he combed police and court records detailing Keogh's life and crimes and listened to the stories of good women who had suffered the criminal's terror. Angered by what he heard and read, he waged a public battle against those who implicated Vicki in her own murder. Impassioned and articulate, Phil Cleary takes us on his journey to set the record straight and to seek the justice that was denied his sister. This is a heartbreaking story of a brother's obsession with bringing killings of the intimate kind to the public forum. It's about what happens when murder casts its shadow across an ordinary family. The author is a media personality, well-known former Independent Member of the Federal parliament and a Victorian football legend. Illus. in colour and b/w + Endnotes. 261pp. trade size softcover.
