Rachael Brown at the State Library of New South Wales

Join Rachael Brown at the State Library of New South Wales for a conversation about her new book Trace.

Trace is the riveting inside story of a journalist’s cold-case investigation of a shocking murder. Broadcast journalist Rachael Brown gives a mesmerising account back through her investigation — one that blew the dust off a 38-year-old cold case, gave a voice to the forgotten and the abused, and could have serious implications for two of the state’s most powerful institutions.
