Rats. They are the vermin who get away with robbery, extortion, abduction, rape and murder. Sometimes we know who they are. Sometimes we suspect. Sometimes it's a mystery. Take Arthur Stanley Brown, a Queensland pensioner who took chilling secrets to the grave. The old man with the respectable cover could be Australia’s worst serial killer. He could be a prototype for another who got away with abduction, rape and murder – the unknown male dubbed Mr Cruel, who abducted schoolgirls in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. His crimes created fear and loathing for millions of people, as it did when schoolgirl Eloise Worledge vanished from her bedroom overnight and was never seen again. Rats takes readers as close to the truth as they can safely go.
