One infant’s death is a tragedy. Two is suspicious. Three is murder. Four put an innocent woman behind bars for 20 years. True crime readers need to hear the tragic story of Kathleen Folbigg, once dubbed our country’s worst female serial killer… only to have her convictions overturned. Respected investigative journalist Quentin McDermott goes behind the headlines to reveal the real story.

Please note: Seating is unallocated.
