Case Reopened
Posted by Miroslav under: Books .
The other week I finished re-reading a book I haven’t picked up in a few years….
Case Reopened
The Mean Streets team again! The Wanda Beach murders, the disappearance of Harold Holt, the Bogle-Chandler case, the missing proceeds from the Qantas Bomb Hoax, the mystery of the Beaumont children and the Shark Arm murder. These are just some of the real ‘cases’ investigated by the cream of Australian crime writers who were given the brief to take a famous Australian murder or mystery…and solve it!
Have they really stumbled onto new information…or are their speculations merely fiction?
The book was published by Allen & Unwin in 1993, and was edited by Stuart Cope and Julie Ogden who were the publishers of Mean Streets (Australia’s crime, mystery and detective fiction magazine of the time). It contains some great short stories by Nigel Krauth, Robert Wallace, Peter Corris, Garry Disher, REL Cassidy, Marele Day, Kerry Greenwood, Jean Bedford, Steve Wright, J.R. Carroll and Robert Hood.
Well worth buying if you are a fan of Australian crime fiction :)
