Swamp: Who Killed Margaret Clement? by Australian journalist Richard Shears revisits one of Victoria’s most haunting cold cases, the 1952 disappearance of the reclusive heiress from her swamp-bound mansion. This hardcover flexi-bound edition delivers a brisk 208-page true-crime narrative that blends biography, local history and courtroom tension.

Shears tracks the eccentric “Lady of the Swamp,” her crumbling estate, and the web of suspects who circled her fortune. Readers who enjoy Australian true crime and outback mysteries will appreciate the on-the-ground research and atmospheric detail that place Tullamarine’s wetlands at centre stage.

The 2008 first-release hardcover is in good, clean condition: light edge wear to the flexi-bound cover, pages crisp and unmarked, no inscriptions, ex-library stamps or smoke odour. A tidy copy ready for instant shelf pride or gifting.

Perfect for collectors of Australian history, geography buffs, and true-crime devotees seeking an unsolved story that still whispers through the reeds.
