Some of the dinner guests-most of them university students-had heard rumours of the plan. Nobody warned Joe Cinque. He died one Sunday, in his own bed, of a massive dose of rohypnol and heroin. His girlfriend and her best friend were charged with murder.Helen Garner followed the trials in the ACT Supreme Court. Compassionate but unflinching, this is a book about how and why Joe Cinque died. It probes the gap between ethics and the law; examines the helplessness of the courts in the face of what we think of as 'evil'; and explores conscience, culpability, and the battered ideal of duty of care.It is a masterwork from one of Australia's greatest writers.Winner of New Kelly Award for Best True Crime 2005Winner of ABA Book of the Year 2004\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helen Garner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53096986181856,"sku":"9780330421782","price":62.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/71Gbkr2sjaL._SY522.jpg?v=1781682442","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/joe-cinques-consolation","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
