International journalist and acclaimed writer Richard Shears uncovers new evidence in the case of the mysterious disappearance of Margaret Clement - the 'Lady of the Swamp.' Rich, beautiful and well-educated, Margaret Clement was the belle of Melbourne society. With a legacy from her wealthy father, she and her sisters set up a mansion called Tullaree in the verdant pastures near the Tarwin River.With staff to run the property, they impressed the cream of Edwardian society with Japanese screens, tapestries and furniture from their trips abroad. Hit hard by the Great Depression and World War I, their finances declined and the ditches that kept the Tarwin River back collapsed through neglect.The lush\u2028paddocks sank under a vast swamp as the elderly belles clung to their beloved Tullaree. As the swamp rose, so too did the presence of opportunists, scammers, lawyers - and a killer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Shears\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1742579507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742579504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Holland Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Richard Shears","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122491912447,"sku":"9781742579504","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14278254-916a-4ebd-81d9-2c38c21725cb.jpg?v=1687425425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/swamp-richard-shears-9781742579504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
