Seven young backpackers brutally murdered. A nationwide police hunt spanning three years and thousands of hours of forensic investigation. And finally, the capture and conviction of one man. Sins of the Brother tells the gripping story of road-worker Ivan Milat and the horrific Belanglo Forest murders that shocked the world and forever etched themselves into Australian criminal folklore. It explores a family culture so twisted and bizarre it would lead inexorably to a serial killing spree, scrutinises the police case - its successes and failures - and reveals the chilling mystery left behind. Told in novelistic style from interviews with the Milat family, key police investigators, Crown lawyers and the lucky souls who escaped with their lives, Sins of the Brother is a classic of crime literature - a psychological thriller come to life and a disturbing portrait of a man whose delusions became reality. 'More than just the suspenseful story of some notoriously evil murders, this shocking and strangely seductive book is a painstaking examination of today's society.
