Lonely roads. Secluded homesteads. Remote landscapes. The Australian outback looms as a challenge to our notion of a civilised world. In the two centuries since European settlement, it has defied our efforts to tame it.
When a backpacker disappears on a lonely stretch of highway or a body is found in the bush, we are revulsed but fascinated. The outback's sheer size and the fact that it's largely uninhabited presents challenges rarely encountered in criminal investigations around the world. In 'Red Centre, Dark Heart', Evan McHugh examines the grisly circumstances surrounding some of the most horrifying crimes committed in the Australian outback.
Includes detailed studies of high-profile cases such as the murder of Peter Falconio, the disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain and the Belanglo state forest backpacker murders.
