Murder and injustice in the Australian bush. In 1936 Harry Lavers disappeared
without a trace from Grenfell, NSW. Itinerant rural worker Fred McDermott was
convicted of his murder in 1947. McDermott persistently protested that he was
innocent and following an enquiry five years later, he was released. But the
full story of the injustice he suffered was not revealed. In this compelling
narrative, author and lawyer tom Molomby investigates how the false case against
McDermott was built up, and shows the abuses and flaws in the system of criminal
justice, which led to his conviction. this story also offers a fascinating
insight into early twentieth-century Australian society.
