Seventeen Traces (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Rosa Simper is murdered inside her Cheltenham home in December 1977, police are left trying to reconstruct what happened during the final hours of her life. There is no obvious suspect, and the usual lines of inquiry produce little. Slowly, the investigation begins to turn on a collection of tiny traces scattered through the house.
A Matter of Cattle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Up near Bogie in North Queensland, the Schwarz and Tighe family take on Sutherland Station, a massive cattle property out in the bush. At first, things are pretty good with their neighbour, Darryl Young, and the two sides even help each other rebuild the fence between their properties. But once cattle start wandering across the boundary, a fairly ordinary problem between neighbours begins to turn into something much more serious.

By 2000, number 84 St Andrews Street becomes the setting for one of Australia’s most gruesome crimes.
