Includes bibliographical references.

Wrongly convicted of double murder in New Zealand's most baffling homicide inquiry, Arthur Allan Thomas spent nine years in prison before his convictions were finally quashed. Now, he's decided to finally reveal the full details of what happened to him inside, and outside, of jail. Plus: A new witness comes forward: Dear Ian, I have had information since 1970 that I have been far too frightened to release. I made an effort to inform the Police in 1970 and spoke to a Sergeant Johnston ... he told me that if I ever rang the Police with that information again or made any attempt to have it made known then I would be the next bastard found in the river . Award-winning investigative journalist Ian Wishart hunts down significant new leads, and for the first time, Arthur Allan Thomas describes his arrest, his years behind bars and his life since his release - an incredible, never-before-told story ...
