The Tall Man : Death and Life on Palm Island Paperback / softback
by Chloe Hooper
Paperback / softback
Description
When Cameron Doomadgee, a 36-year-old member of the Aboriginal community of Palm Island, was arrested for swearing at a white police officer, he was dead within forty-five minutes of being locked up.
The police claimed he'd tripped on a step, but the pathologist likened his injuries to those received in a plane crash.
The main suspect was the handsome, charismatic Senior Sergeant Christopher Hurley, an experienced cop with decorations for his work.
In following Hurley's trail to some of the wildest and most remote parts of Australia, Chloe Hooper explores Aboriginal myths and history and uncovers buried secrets of white mischief.
Atmospheric, gritty and original, The Tall Man takes readers to the heart of a struggle for power, revenge and justice.
