Bloodstain: The Vanishing of Peter Falconio by Richard Shears

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly to front cover right corners, now protected with book tape. Body text and binding are still very good.

On a cold July night in 2001, a panic-stricken woman dashed out of the desert scrub, bringing to a halt a huge outback roadtrain.

The story that Joanne Lees subsequently told spread a chill among backpackers everywhere and launched an intense manhunt. A cold, calculating killer had tricked her and her boyfriend, Peter Falconio, into stopping their campervan on an isolated stretch of highway. He shot Falconio, leaving the stain of the Englishman's blood on the road, but Joanne managed to escape and hide in the undergrowth.

Award-winning journalist Richard Shears covered the story from the first days right up until the verdict that convicted Bradley John Murdoch.
