Four years after it happened, police finally arrested a man over the baffling murder of Janelle Patton on Norfolk Island. The murder may or may not yet be solved, but Norfolk Island still has plenty of secrets.

On the afternoon of Easter Sunday 2002, somebody killed a woman. A vicious, nasty prolonged attack that pitted a feisty, pretty brunette against a person of great strength, anger and hatred. Her name was Janelle Patton. She fought for her life. And died.

In the tradition of true-crime reportage, Norfolk scratches the facade of this secretive and protective community, probing murder, myth, history, politics and gossip. (back cover)
