Killing Juanita is the definitive true crime account of one of Australia's most enduring and mysterious cold cases. Despite two police investigations, a coronial inquest, and even a federal parliamentary inquiry, the disappearance of journalist and activist Juanita Nielsen remains unsolved—raising the haunting question: why?

This gripping true crime narrative dives deep into the people and power struggles at the heart of the case. At its centre is Nielsen herself—an outspoken opponent of inner-city redevelopment and a fierce defender of heritage homes in Kings Cross. Her activism made her a target, placing her in direct conflict with a powerful property developer linked to the criminal underworld. Killing Juanita is an unflinching exploration of corruption, silenced dissent, and the dark intersections of politics, money, and organised crime.
