Description

In 1985, in the lounge room of his home, someone shot and killed Chris Hatfield. His wife Irena was asleep at the time. More than a decade passed. The case was never solved, nor was it ever closed. Then in 1997 Irena Hatfield was arrested and charged with the murder. A lover had new evidence, a sensational allegation that Irena had told him she had shot her husband. She was accused of being a premeditated murderer, a nymphomaniac, and a man-eater, yet Irena Hatfield walked from the Sydney courts, having been acquitted of her husband's murder. The case remains unsolved. Just who exactly is Irena Hatfield This text pulls no punches and reveals details of Irena's constant emotional and physical abuse and ultimate rape by her father, her adventures in the soft-porn industry and her dalliance around the edges of prostitution in Kings Cross. From her past, hanging with a seedy Kings Cross crowd, to her current life on the Far North Coast of NSW, the book reveals a woman determined to live her life to the full.
