In this unique book, bestselling Australian author John Pinkney chronicles the most tantalising of these true stories. Unexplained Disappearances on land, at sea and in the air; Mysterious Murders whose motivation and method have defeated the keenest forensic minds; Mystifying Phenomena, including the spectres that stalk WA s sinister shipwreck; the drowned man s face that invaded a police photograph; the terrifying power of the aboriginal killing-bone. And much more.
