Don’t Call Me Killer! – James William Miller (Edited by Dick Wordley) – Truro Murders – True Crime Paperback

Description:
Rare vintage true crime paperback, Don’t Call Me Killer! (James William Miller, edited by Dick Wordley), first published in the mid-1980s. This chilling account is based on notes, letters, and prison writings by James Miller, convicted in relation to the Truro murders — seven young women killed in South Australia between 1976–1977.

Compiled while Miller was in Yatala Labour Prison, the book includes his own writings, Dick Wordley’s commentary, and contextual material about the case. Highly controversial on release, it remains one of the most sought-after Australian crime titles.
