Three months before the inquest into Lang Hancock's death, a young rock journalist from Sydney went to live in Prix d'amour with Rose Hancock Porteous, her fourth husband and her two poodles. This is what happened next.
Shanahan's own relationship with Rose was predictably tumultuous, ranging from late night drinking sessions, when much too much was revealed, to subsequent allegations of betrayal. Then came the official inquest into Hancock's death.
Funny and insightful, this portrait of Rose Hancock is a compelling read.
