12 years ago, in Katherine, a murder was committed. The motive was clear and so was the method but was Zak Grieve also there, or did he pull out? Either way, the Northern Territory Mandatory Sentencing laws meant that Zak was locked up with a life sentence.

Award-winning journalist Dan Box examines the case and his own response to it, in his new book The Man Who Wasn’t There.
