About this audiobook

On 19 July 1995, two young men stumbled upon a skeleton in a disused mineshaft near Bonnie Doon, Victoria. The sensational find was identified as the remains of transgender sex worker Adele Bailey, who had been missing for more than 17 years. How did Adele Bailey die and why was her body hidden in a forgotten mineshaft? Was there a connection between Adele Bailey and country housewife Jenny Tanner who had been killed on a nearby property? The police believe the connection was Jenny Tanner's brother-in-law and one of Australia's most notorious policemen, Detective Sergeant Denis Tanner. No Justice delves into the sordid 1970s underworld in which Adele Bailey lived and Denis Tanner worked: a world of drugs, prostitution and corruption, where cops and robbers played by the same unwritten rules.

About the author

In 1996 Robin Bowles read a newspaper report about the alleged suicide of Victorian country housewife Jennifer Tanner. Guessing there might be a book in the 'story behind the news' she closed her PR consultancy for a year and wrote her first book, Blind Justice. She's written a bestseller almost every year since, including the definitive books on the Jaidyn Leskie murder, Justice Denied, and the disappearance and alleged murder of British tourist Peter Falconio, Dead Centre. During her new career as an investigative writer, she also obtained a university diploma to qualify her as a private inquiry agent. She is a national convenor of Sisters in Crime Australia and lives in a Melbourne warehouse with her husband, Clive.

Susan Lyons is an Australian actress whose television appearances include A Country Practice, Police Rescue, Murder Call, Farscape, Something in the Air and All Saints.
