Summary

A true insider's story of the backpacker murders from the detective who led the team that arrested Ivan Milat.

Milat - the serial killer who preyed on young hitchhikers. The backpackers - the innocent victims of a brutal murderer. Belanglo - a place that became synonymous with pure evil. It was the biggest and most complex manhunt in Australian history, an investigation that gripped a nation. Behind the many false leads and dead ends, precious clues emerged that pointed to one man.

This is the story of how Ivan Milat was caught. Clive Small takes us inside the operation he led as his team painstakingly pieced together the evidence that put Milat behind bars. But questions remain. Did he act alone? Were there other victims? How much did his family know? And what of his great-nephew, who brutally killed a young man in 2010?

Chilling, forensic, compassionate - this is the definitive story that could only be told by someone at the centre of the police operation. It is also a powerful argument for the investigation of more than 100 unsolved murders.

A famous case from the eyes of the detective

Milat is the name that everyone in Australia knows. And not just Australia. Beautifully narrated by Peter Hosking, this harrowing tale spoken from the viewpoint of a lead detective is forensic as you would expect. This is not a true crime thrill, so if you are into one - don't bother. Instead, this is a poignant and matter-of-fact story of a murder, evidence, the procedure, and conviction. Clive Small talks about the dilemmas and challenges they faced as the case was unfolding, and gives us an honest account of what was surely one of the most notorious criminal cases in Australian history (and add some more interesting ones for good measure).
