Inhaltsangabe:
On 31 March 2017, British ultra-endurance cyclist Mike Hall was struck and killed in Australia while riding his bicycle towards Canberra. At the inquest into his death, Mike was portrayed as not being conspicuous enough to motorists. Yet his reflective clothing was not retained by police, and other physical evidence was inexplicably sent back to the family. The driver was never charged even though he was speeding, with headlights that he stated could only project two meters and brakes that worked intermittently. Meanwhile the driver s blood toxicology results were not presented to the Coroner until the eleventh hour, and have been kept from scrutiny until now. Kangaroo Justice and the Death of Mike Hall: An Australian Miscarriage of Justice recounts the avoidable death of Mike Hall in Australia, and the flawed investigation and coronial inquest that followed. It asks some difficult questions that deserve to be heard and answered.

Riding as 'The Dark Knight', he was in twentieth position in the 2017 Indian Pacific Wheel Race from Fremantle to Sydney on the day Mike Hall was killed. Since then, Heath completed three transcontinental races in the 2018 calendar year, achieving what can be called the triple crown of unsupported ultra-endurance cycling.Heath's current focus is investigative books dealing with social justice, books that celebrate human achievement, and books and articles that observe and comment on behaviour and society.
