Macquarie Street's finest, including Dr Eric Hedberg, were lined up for questioning. Stories emerged of Diana Yeates's alleged affair with him and of Dr Hedberg's first wife, Joyce, purportedly fearing she was being poisoned. Joyce Hedberg died five months before James Yeates. The inquest caused a sensation. In fact, no one was ever charged with this murder. In May 1964, Eric Hedberg and Diana Yeates married.
Candy Sutton is an experienced journalist, currently employed by the Sun-Herald. She has carried out extensive research into the Yeates Case, and published a feature on it shortly after Dr Hedberg's death. This is her first book.
