"Girls like you, we know how to shut you up." (One of the brothers in a warning to a female victim)
'Girls Like You' is an astonishing, searing non-fiction narrative, built on dialogue, character and forensic detail as it tracks the cascade of crimes by six brothers from Pakistan after they arrive in Sydney. In a catalogue of outrages, women are raped and men die. As the net eventually closes on the perpetrators, the book becomes a courtroom drama. Paul Sheehan follows each shocking case, as the girls search for justice in a legal system loaded in favour of the defendant rather than the victim.
'Girls Like You' unfolds against the backdrop of the gang-rape phenomenon and the cultural clash between young Muslim men and young western women. Written by the author of the huge best-seller 'Among The Barbarians', it is even more dramatic and even more topical.
