Summary

In 1948, a man was found dead on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, Australia. Well-dressed and unmarked, he had a half-smoked cigarette by his side, but no identity documents. Decades later, the Somerton Man's identity and death remain mysteries. From his clothing's missing labels, to the tiny piece of paper with the words Tamam Shud found in the fob pocket of his trousers, this cold case is brimming with facts that are stranger than fiction.

Written by one of Australia's best-known and most loved crime writers, this book explores pieces of the author's own past in an attempt to solve the puzzle, uncovering a new way of writing about true crime - and about herself - in the process.

Profile Image for Muriel

3 books in one.

The first part, the story of the dead man on the beach, was a bit long for me and I found the code breaking part difficult and way too long. Well done that reader to get through so many upper case/lower case repetitions.
The litany of Adelaide crimes brought back so many memories as I was living there when a lot of them were committed. (It wasn’t me honestly). Don Dustan and the camel at the beach I also remember well.
The story of some of Kerry’s past and her family created a credible and interesting part autobiography.
Phryne’s very short story gave promise of more of her adventures to come.
