Hedley Thomas’s non-fiction work includes two books published sixteen years apart. Both reflect his career as an investigative journalist who digs into cases where institutions have failed or the truth has been suppressed.

Sick to Death (2007) investigated systemic problems in Australian hospitals, while The Teacher’s Pet (2023) examined the disappearance of Lyn Dawson in 1982. The latter began as a podcast that attracted tens of millions of downloads worldwide and contributed to the reopening of the case. Chris Dawson was convicted of murdering his wife in 2022, a year before the book’s publication.
