The Sinkings by Amanda Curtin (9781742580401)

Description - The Sinkings by Amanda Curtin

In 1882 dismembered human remains were discovered at the Sinkings, a lonely campsite near Albany, Western Australia. The surgeon conducting the autopsy claimed they were those of a woman. Why, then, was the victim identified as a man, Little Jock, a former convict? And why was the murder so brutal, so gruesome? More than a hundred years later, grief-stricken Willa Samson embarks on a search to find out. Merging stories past and present, intricately crafted, The Sinkings takes its inspiration from actual events leading up to the discovery of Little Jock's remains and the controversy surrounding their identification.
