John Meiklejohn was one of the best known prospectors of the Coolgardie and later goldrushes of the 1890s. He came from Scotland to New Zealand and Victoria and then to Western Australia for gold. Rich gold strikes led to him heading for London to sell his claims, resulting in introductions to some of the most powerful financial figures of the time. Later came the South African war and prospecting in the Klondyke, Africa, and Madagascar for gold and oil. With his fortune gone he retired to Perth where he wrote of his experiences and those of his associates in the good old Gold Getting Days.

In 1926 one of the most diabolical murders to ever take place in Western Australia was committed.
Two members of the Goldstealing Detection Branch of the West Australian Police Force were murdered near Kalgoorlie, and their bodies partly dismembered and burned. The remains were then taken to a mineshaft and unceremoniously dumped. A gold processing plant was then thrown on top of the mutilated bodies.
This book reports all the known facts of the case. There are no imagined histrionics or manufactured conversations. Some of the photographs have never been previously published or even seen before, except in Court.
