Ava has been in and out of mental institutions ever since.

Will they ever come home?

Every 15 minutes, someone in Australia goes missing. Most are found, but some have met with misadventure or murder. Insightful and often emotional, Missing You examines more than 20 of Australia’s most baffling cases, as well as stories of unidentified remains, abductions and suspected homicides. Here you’ll find the in-depth stories behind these disappearances, including recent and historic cases. In researching Missing You, Justine Ford, journalist and presenter on the TV series Australia’s Most Wanted, had access to police Australia-wide and extensive contact with the victims’ families. It includes a preface by Bruce Morcombe, whose 13-year-old son, Daniel, was abducted from a Gold Coast bus stop. Colour photos • Softcover • 296 pages •

An epic tale of family, crime and betrayal

In Bigwig: The Remarkable Rise And Fall Of Tony Mokbel, top crime writer Liam Houlihan documents the ascension of the man they call ‘Fat Tony’ in the drug trade and the decade-long struggle to hold him to account for his crimes. Houlhan explores the political intrigue and public embarrassment arising from the daring escape by Mokbel out from under the noses of the authorities, through to the way in which wealthy criminals with access to top lawyers are able to delay justice. Featuring exclusive interviews with police and family members – and a cast of characters including Zarah Garde-Wilson, Carl and Roberta Williams, Chopper Read and Judy Moran – it’s a stranger-than-fiction story of sex, pills, perfidy and pizza.

An amazing story of survival

great story

South is Shackleton’s first-hand account of his epic expedition in 1914-17 across the continent of Antarctica. During the journey his ship, the Endurance, was crushed by ice, forcing Shackleton and his men to set sail in a small open boat on a 600-mile crossing to South Georgia. This dramatic story, one of the most astonishing feats of Polar escapology, remains as enthralling today as when it was first published in 1919. Paperback • 316 pages •
