'When the phone rings in the middle of the night, it is usually bad news. When the phone rings in the middle of the night and you are the State Coroner, it is invariably someone else's bad news ... In this compelling book we travel with State Coroner Derrick Hand behind the scenes of his investigations and discover how he pieced together the puzzles thrown up by suspicious deaths and helped bring some of Australia's most notorious murderers to justice. The Coroner offers insights into forensic science, the workings of the court and criminal justice system, and the high-profile inquiries into the deaths of Roni Levi, Anita Cobby and Michael Hutchence; as well as the Newcastle earthquake, the Down Under Hostel Fire and the Sydney Hilton Bombing'
