Written from the perspective of an investigative journalist, this gripping chronicle explores the murders of Australian Constables Damian Eyre and Steven Tynan in October of 1988. Revised and updated, this fascinating account exposes one of Melbourne’s best-known crime families as the main players in the murders brothers Trevor and Victor Peirce were acquitted and sister Vicki became a police-protected witness. Meticulous and well-researched, this forensic examination demonstrates how after an astounding two-and-a-half years, the police’s case fell apart.
