Perth was said to be the most isolated city in the world, and proud of it! Along with the isolation came an innocence, tranquillity and friendliness. "Then a man he knew murdered a boy he also knew. The murderer randomly killed eight strangers – variously shooting, strangling, stabbing, bludgeoning and hacking his victims and running them down with cars – and innocent Perth was changed for ever." -- from the front fold over panel blurb. For 30 years these events haunted the author, for they were inexorably entwined with his childhood, adolescence and family – and, to make sense of it, he has written about it.
