Bowraville
Dan Box
Penguin
RRP $40
The Bowraville murders, three killings that took place over six months in the early 1990s, are among the most well-known unsolved mysteries in Australia.
All three victims were Aboriginal, and the same white man was linked to each, but nobody was convicted. More than two decades later, homicide detective Gary Jubelin contacted seasoned crime reporter Dan Box, asking him to pursue the story.
Dan spoke with the families of the victims, lawyers, police officers, and even the suspect. His investigation forced the authorities to reconsider the killings.
His account asks painful questions about what ‘justice’ means and how it is delivered, as well as his own shifting, uncomfortable realisation that he was a reporter who crossed the line.

Buddhism for Meat Eaters
Josephine Moon
