About this ebook
A true insider's story of the Backpacker Murders from the detective who led the team that arrested Ivan Milat.
Milat - the serial killer who preyed on young hitchhikers. The backpackers - the innocent victims of a brutal murderer. Belanglo - a place that became synonymous with pure evil.
It was the biggest and most complex manhunt in Australian history, an investigation that gripped a nation. Behind the many false leads and dead ends, precious clues emerged that pointed to one man.
This is the story of how Ivan Milat was caught. Clive Small takes us inside the operation he led as his team painstakingly pieced together the evidence that put Milat behind bars. But questions remain. Did he act alone? Were there other victims? How much did his family know? And what of his great-nephew, who brutally killed a young man in 2010?
Chilling, forensic, compassionate - this is the definitive story that could only be told by someone at the centre of the police operation. It is also a powerful argument for the investigation of more than a hundred unsolved murders.

Very intriguing how the police narrowed down the people involved.It shows the incredible cruelty and evil motivation. Ivan Milat died not long ago from lung cancer. Imagine how the doctors who treated him felt! Incredible, a real psychopath

Overall a good read. I find that images spread through the text is helpful rather than a whole section of images. Family background info was insightful. This book made me fear for my children when they are travelling. We too are immigrants and it's scary to know that another partial immigrant could target anyone with no ties to Australia...a true psychopathic maniac!
