THE GATTON MYSTERY An Unsolved Australianj Multiple Murder as Compelling as the Ayers Rock Tragedy

Softcover. An Australian multiple murder as compelling as the Ayers Rock tragedy. The unsolved brutal triple murders involving Michael, Norah and Ellen Murphy, at Gatton, Queensland, in 1898 and the seemingly inexplicable events that followed intrigued the authors since their childhood. Here they have reconstructed, with meticulous detail, the circumstances surrounding the tragedy from contemporary court evidence, police statements and newspaper reports, to present an absorbing and compelling story. It is the most accurate account of the mystery ever compiled at the time, and reaches conclusions which rebut those of the original investigators. Illus., Notes to Text and Epilogue. 223pp. softcover. From the library of Paul Daniel, ex-editor of the 'Ripperologist' magazine (December 1996 No. 8 - February 2000 No. 27) with his name rubber stamp and green felt-tip date to inside of back cover. V. Browned pp. o/w Vg+ with no creasing to covers.
