Murders & Mayhem at Salt Creek: The True Story of Malachi Martin by Dawn Ralfe

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners. Minor wobble to top of pages.

Many articles have been written about the notorious murderer Malachi Martin, but over time, like Chinese whispers, the story has veered from the truth.

Using references and newspapers of the day, the author has tried to bring his story closer to the events at isolated Salt Creek, South Australia.

This book also briefly covers two other stories. One is of Martin’s neighbour at the Adelaide gaol, Elizabeth Woolcock, the only woman to be executed at the gaol, and the other is the story of a distant non-blood relative of Martin’s, William Henry Francis, who also met his fate at the Adelaide gaol.
