A Scandal in Bohemia: The Life and Death of Mollie Dean by Gideon Haigh

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners. Blue mark on top foredge. Uncorrected proof.

As enigmatic in life as in death, Mollie Dean was a woman determined to transcend. Creatively ambitious and sexually precocious, at twenty-five, she was a poet, aspiring novelist and muse on the peripheries of Melbourne's bohemian salons - until one night in 1930, she was brutally slain by an unknown killer in a laneway while walking home.
