Despite a series of police investigations, a coronial inquest and a federal parliamentary inquiry, the mystery of Juanita Nielsen's disappearance remains unsolved. The pressing question now is why? Killing Juanita is an unflinching examination of this high-profile cold case and its key protagonists, not least Juanita Nielsen. An ardent campaigner fighting the proposed demolition of historic houses in the Cross, she was a thorn in the side of a powerful property developer with links to notorious crime bosses. Winner of the 2004 Ned Kelly Award for True Crime and now revised and updated with new information, Killing Juanita is a compelling story of greed, corruption, dirty politics and cover-ups. It finally puts to rest decades of speculation, providing the definitive answer that authorities never could - or would.
