Lingering Doubts

The accountant simply takes the bus to work and apart from a police escorted visit, never again returns to his home in St Lucia, a middle-class, riverside suburb of Brisbane. He is arrested for the sexually motivated murder of his typist, Bronia Armstrong. This is a book about the investigation into what became known as the 'Arcade Murder', led by Sub-Inspector Frank Bischof. The 'big fella' liked to wrap up a case quickly. Just days after a life sentence is handed down to Reg Brown, his emaciated body is removed from a Boggo Road Gaol cell, along with a handwritten note declaring his innocence.
