Blackened Tanner. The Denis Tanner Story

This is the story of Denis Tanner, a Victorian detective who hit the headlines in 1996 when a newspaper accused him of murdering two women—his sister-in-law Jennifer, whose death in 1984 was treated as suicide, and Adele Bailey, a transsexual prostitute who disappeared in 1978. In 1998 a coroner found that Denis Tanner had shot his sister-in-law, but he was never charged. As a result, he has been denied a forum in which to defend himself and clear his name. In this book, former detective Ron Irwin presents a compelling case for Denis Tanner's innocence and documents a deeply disturbing miscarriage of justice.
