Azaria by Richard Shears is a gripping work of investigative non-fiction that chronicles one of Australia's most controversial and emotionally charged criminal cases — the mysterious disappearance of baby Azaria Chamberlain at Uluru in 1980. The book presents a thorough account of the events surrounding that fateful night, the subsequent police investigation, and the sensational trial that divided a nation. Shears details the ordeal of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain, whose claim that a dingo took their baby was met with widespread scepticism, ultimately leading to Lindy's wrongful conviction for murder. Written with the authority of an experienced journalist, the narrative uncovers the flaws in the prosecution's case, the media frenzy that shaped public opinion, and the long road to exoneration. It stands as a compelling examination of justice, public perception, and the human cost of a miscarriage of law in modern Australia.
