Australian True Crime

We're taking a little break over Summer and using this time to spotlight some of our favourite true-crime podcasts.This week we're showcasing Michael Adam's Forgotten Australia, with his three part Cairns Grenade Murders series.On a hot night in January 1946, two women were cold-bloodedly murdered with a grenade in the centre of Cairns. In this three-part special episode - based on the original police murder file - we take a deep dive into this callous crime, whose solution was frustrated not only by the underworld’s code of silence but also by the conduct of Queensland’s most infamously corrupt cop.To read an extract and get 26% off Michael's book Hanging Ned Kelly, you can visit this link here: https://affirmpress.com.au/publishing/hanging-ned-kelly/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/australiantruecrime.
