Blue Murder by Australian journalist Ben Hills is a compelling non‑fiction chronicle that explores the tragic history of asbestos mining in Australia, focusing on the Wittenoom disaster and its lasting impact on workers and communities. The book weaves investigative reporting with personal stories, offering insight into environmental, health and historical dimensions of the industry.

This 1989 paperback is a true first edition and includes detailed maps and striking black‑and‑white photographs that enhance the narrative. The original Sun M imprint adds to its collectibility for readers interested in Australian history, criminology and true‑story biographies.

The copy shows light cover scuffing and a name written on the front paper, but the pages remain clean, tidy and free of dog‑ears. The binding is tight, the book comes from a smoke‑free home and bears an inscription, though it is not signed by the author.

Ideal for adults and young adults alike, Blue Murder appeals to anyone fascinated by environmental justice, medical history and the human cost of industrial negligence.
