A review of my book by Bruce Elder, from the Spectrum section of The Sydney Morning Herald.
My first book has been released at bookstores and online.
On January 7, 2006, pregnant mother-of-one Jody Galante was reported missing by her husband Mark. A week later Jody’s body was found in bushland at Bilpin, in the Blue Mountains. She had died of a single gunshot wound to the head. Police investigated the murder and made an arrest in March 2006. The case came to a conclusion in April 2008.
I covered this story from when it was a missing person’s inquiry all the way through to the court case and the final guilty plea.
