Described questionable investigation practices by the police, including allegations of unsigned confessions and a forged fingerprint. The police union collected a levy of $1 per week from each member to fund legal action against Lovell and his publishers and distributors to suppress publication of the book. It was estimated that between one and two million dollars was raised. The book was banned by the State Government, but was still freely available to be read at the J S Battye Library. The ban was eventually lifted.
A second book by Lovell, Split Image, was published in 1990 and met a similar fate to the Mickelberg Stitch. This ban was also lifted later.
In March 2011, Lovell launched his third and final book on the case, under the title Litany of Lies.
