Her distraught mother, Lindy, claimed she saw a dingo carry her off into the Australian outback. Two years later, their tragedy worsened when, without a murder weapon, a body, or even a motive, a jury convicted Lindy Chamberlain of killing her own daughter. The public cheered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Bryson, a trial lawyer and award-winning journalist, deconstructs the factors that led to a seemingly reasonless incarceration and the public attitude that demanded it. With this book, he began to sway popular opinion in the Chamberlains' favor by discussing the failures on the part of the police, forensics team, and press. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger and the inspiration for the film \u003ci\u003eA Cry in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e starring Meryl Streep, \u003ci\u003eEvil Angels\u003c\/i\u003e presents an impartial analysis of the most notorious miscarriage of justice in Australian history. It serves as a reminder of the dangers of blindly searching for a conviction, the importance of scientific accuracy, the volatility of the media, and the ease with which a nation can fall prey to bigoted thinking. Written with literary finesse, this is one of the twentieth century's most important--and thoughtful--works of true crime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Bryson, a native of Melbourne, Australia, is a lawyer and an author of both fiction and nonfiction.
