City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

Winner of New Kelly Award for Best True Crime 2005 Winner of ABA Book of the Year 2004 In October 1997 a clever young law student at ANU made a bizarre plan to murder her devoted boyfriend after a dinner party at their house. Some of the dinner guests-most of them university students-had heard rumours of the plan. Nobody warned Joe Cinque. He died one Sunday, in his own bed, of a massive dose of rohypnol and heroin. His girlfriend and her best friend were charged with murder. Helen Garner followed the trials in the ACT Supreme Court. It is a masterwork from one of Australia's greatest writers.
