Somebody whose True Crime reading I follow closely mentioned this book ages ago and I've been meaning to pick it up ever since then.
From the Blurb:
By the time he was arrested for the murder of Jodie Larcombe in the late 1980s, Daryl Suckling had escaped conviction more than once for his brutal assaults on vulnerable young women. But without Jodie's body, prosecutors struggled to prove a homicide, and once again he was allowed to walk free.
Unwilling to give up, two Sydney policemen spent nearly a decade fighting to bring the psychopathic killer to justice. Frustrated by legal obstacles and sheer bad luck, one officer resigned in disgust, but detectives eventually closed in on Suckling as he stalked his next victim.
