Twelve extraordinary tales of crime and punishment: a collection of true crime writing by New Zealand's award-winning master of non-fiction.
A court is a chamber of questions. Who, when, why, what happened and exactly how - these are issues of psychology and the soul, they're general to the human condition, with its infinite capacity to cause pain.
A brutal murder of a wife and daughter ... A meth-fuelled Samurai sword attack ... A banker tangled in a hit-and-run scandal ... A top cop accused of rape ... A murder in the Outback ... A beloved entertainer's fall from grace ...
In the hands of award-winning journalist and author Steve Braunias these and other extraordinary cases become more than just courtroom dramas and sensational headlines. They become a window onto another world - the one where things go badly wrong, where once invisible lives become horrifyingly visible, where the strangeness just beneath the surface is revealed.
Acutely observed, brilliantly written, and with the Mark Lundy case as its riveting centrepiece, this collection from the courts and criminal files of the recent past depicts a place we rarely enter, but which exists all around us.

11 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Not to be taken seriously By Amazon Customer The author shows no knowledge of the law. Instead he shows his conceit and disgust. Full of tabloid style gossip, this is not to be taken seriously.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. The Mark Lundy case is front and center By Christopher Halkides The Scene of the Crime gives vivid accounts of a number of murders interspersed with brief, though evocative, glimpses of New Zealand. The author spends much time on the Mark Lundy case, in which Mr. Lundy has now been convicted twice of killing his wife and daughter. The forensic science in this case is complex and contentious, yet the jury seemed to focus on Mr. Lundy's final interview with the police prior to his arrest and Mr. Lundy's reaction to it in court. Perhaps the jury was looking for clues in Mr. Lundy's body language (they would have been better advised to mark the indirect and inadvertent admission of tunnel vision that the police made during its course). Yet Mr. Braunias's retelling of this crucial detail reinforces the notion that juries are fickle and unpredictable.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Highly recommended. By K Hayton This was a selection of crime stories from Steve's career in journalism, which demonstrated his fascination with the court system. Some of these cases were familiar to me while others were completely unheard of. Steve focuses in on the different participants in the drama of a trial and has revealing and emotional interviews with the main players.I found the repeat examinations of the Lundy murders the most compelling with an insight into the issues that many New Zealanders have struggled with in regards to this case over the years. Reading this at the same time as watching the Netflix 'Making a Murderer' was a particularly eye-opening experience as so many of the errors and ambiguities highlighted in Steve Avery's case were present at the Lundy trial. The thought that a man has been and will remain imprisoned for years because he appears distasteful is a harrowing thought designed to keep readers awake at night considering their own culpability in what may in time be revealed as another judicial error.The most emotionally touching of the cases for me involved a long-ago mass murder including the deaths of two policeman. Steve's interviews with the widow of one of the officers, both conducted long after his death, revealed a portrait of a strong woman in mourning who has retained her faith in life by visiting prison inmates and acting as a much needed friend and listener. Through her experience of these prisoners it showed me a different side of the men labelled and dismissed as monsters.Throughout the different tales there are haunting descriptions of the New Zealand locations where these crimes took place. Steve ably captures the mood of the people in these communities and the mood of the landscape in which they live.Steve captures a side of the justice system that is not often revealed to the public and bundles it together with beautiful language and phrasing. Highly recommended.
