An Investigation into the Death of Adele Baily.
The discovery of a transsexual skeleton in a deserted mineshaft in Bonnie Doon, Victoria, Australia in June 1996 sparked a renewed police investigation into the death of country housewife Jenny Tanner, who had allegedly committed suicide less than 2km from the mineshaft. The sensational discovery also prompted Robin Bowls to investigate Jenny Tanner's alleged suicide. The result was the bestseller 'Blind Justice'.
Now Bowles returns to the mystery of the body in the mineshaft, and the sleazy 1970s underworld of prostitution, drugs, cops and robbers that was inhabited by transsexual prostitute Adele Baily. This book reveals the exhaustive investigation into Adele's death. Was there a connection between Jenny Tanner and Adele Baily? Police say yes - the link is one of Australia's most notorious policemen, Denis Tanner.
A tough, hard-nosed cop. A vulnerable, confused transsexual. A violent death. Was there a link?
