Biography & Memoir History True Crime
Richard Shears’ true-crime title Swamp: Who Killed Margaret Clement? revisits one of Australia’s most perplexing cold cases, the 1952 disappearance of the wealthy recluse from her lonely Gippsland mansion. This 2008 hardback blends biography, local history and investigative reporting to explore how a woman once dubbed “the Queen of the Swamp” vanished without a trace.
