Memories and Murder
2 Cassettes
As a child growing up in the suburbs of Perth, Robert Drewe was deeply affected by the senseless murder of a boy he knew - by a man he also knew. The murderer randomly killed eight strangers - variously shooting, strangling, stabbing, bludgeoning and hacking his victims and running them down with cars. It changed Perth, and an innocent boy forever. 'The Shark Net' is a vibrant and haunting memoir of this time. It reaches beyond the dark recesses of murder and chaos to encompass their ordinary suburban backdrop.
