Views to Die For: Local author talk

This award-winning book looks at the history of Kings Cross including the Juanita Nielsen case. Nielsen was a newspaper publisher and heiress who battled to save heritage buildings in Kings Cross from redevelopment in the 1970s. Her subsequent disappearance remains an unsolved mystery to this day.

Mark Skelsey takes a new approach to this story and examines the legacy of this urban conflict in societal and policy changes affecting heritage, affordable housing, planning consultation and police corruption.
