David Yeates asked Amanda Howard:

Amanda I am interested to read that you have written many books on true crime of which the Graeme Thorne kidnapping/murder was one. At about the same time in Sydney another murder of a well known surgeon, a Dr James Yeates, took place. A book called The needle in the Heart was written about it by Candace Sutton. I was wondering if you are at all familiar with this murder and the book ? Regards David Yeates

Amanda Howard Hi David,

Yes I know of the unsoled murder case of Dr Yeates in Vauclause in 1960. It is certainly an unusual case, particularly regarding the adrenalin injection. I think it is in one of my vintage true crime books, but I've not heard of the book by Candace Sutton.

Kind regards,

Amanda
