Blue Murder by award-winning investigative journalist Ben Hills uncovers the chilling true story of Wittenoom’s blue-asbestos mines and the deadly dust that still haunts Australia. First published in 1989, this scarce first edition paperback traces how miners, families and a remote Pilbara town were sacrificed for profit, making it a gripping addition to any Australian history or criminology shelf.
Inside you’ll find detailed maps of the mine site and stark black-and-white photos that bring the tragedy into sharp focus. A previous owner’s name is penned neatly on the front endpaper, but the 205 pages remain crisp, un-creased and tightly bound—light exterior scuffing is the only sign of its age.
Collectors of Ben Hills, Wittenoom narratives, or environmental true-crime will appreciate this well-preserved vintage copy.
