Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. One page has been folded back.

On a balmy Townsville night in 1944, young serviceman Warwick Meale is found beaten to death under a bridge. The army and police do not, or will not, conduct a proper investigation and history forgets the killer - until now.

Nearly eighty years on, Warwick's descendant, Jonathan Butler, dusts off the case and chases the leads that were there all along.

The Boy in the Dress exhumes secrets of life on the home front during World War II, where tensions between soldiers boiled over, new expressions of sexuality flourished and the threat of invasion catapulted the status quo into disarray.

The truth of this family legend and this little-known chapter in Australian military history is more complex and engrossing than anyone could have imagined. (back cover)
