In 1985, in the lounge room of his home, someone shot and killed Chris Hatfield. He was shot four times in the temple and once in the chest. His wife Irena was asleep at the time.
More than a decade passed. The case was never solved, nor was it ever closed. Then in 1997 Irena Hatfield was arrested and charged with the murder of her husband.
Irena's former lover, Atticus Busby, alleged that Irena confessed to him that she had shot her husband. Though no scientific evidence was found to implicate Irena the police believed they had enough evidence to prosecute. Irena was accused of being a premeditated murderer, a nymphomaniac, a man-eater, and a conniving bitch, yet she walked from the Sydney courts last year having been acquitted of her husband's murder.
The murderer has never been found. The case remains open.
So who is Irena Hatfield? This book pulls no punches and reveals details of Irena's constant emotional and physical abuse and ultimate rape by her father, her adventures in the soft-porn industry and her dalliance around the edges of prostitution in Kings Cross. From her past, hanging with a seedy Kings Cross crowd, to her current life on the Far North Coast of NSW, the author reveals a woman determined to live her life to the full - regardless of how others label her. This is her story.
