Author Talk: Mark Skelsey
Waverley Library
Details
How did a 1970s plan to raze and redevelop a historic Sydney suburb lead to a kidnapping, murder and urban warfare? And why does this tumultuous period still play a pivotal role in Sydney's planning today? These are the big questions explored in Views To Die For. Views To Die For has been published alongside the 50th anniversary of the 1975 murder of outspoken Kings Cross activist and publisher Juanita Nielsen.
