The Man with 300 Names expands on Stephanie’s seminal earlier work, The Gatton Murders, and examines the turmoil in the young colony of Queensland in the years preceding the Gatton murders. While the world was wrestling with the new concept of socialism, western Queensland was to become a crucible of discontent, culminating in the Shearers Wars, the birth of the world’s first Labor Party, and a promise of a utopian new beginning for some. Into this tinderbox step Michael Murphy and his eventual killer, a man with 300 names.
