The book is a wonderful evocation of a time and places; Johannesburg, London, Mecca, Moscow. The last years of Timol’s life, the woman he loved, and his commitment to a non-racial and free South Africa. His last days are detailed here; the roadblock that was set up to catch him and his treatment by the security police.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot content with finding his uncle’s murderer, Cajee has been on a quest for justice for other murdered victims of apartheid, whose killers never applied to the TRC and who was never charged, despite the information being available. Cajee investigates the possible deal that was done between the National Party and the ANC during the early 90s and asks how it is possible that so many murderers and torturers were not prosecuted. He is clear that now is the time to find these people and prosecute them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is unputdownable, and one that will leave you deeply touched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Imtiaz+A.+Cajee\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eImtiaz A.

Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface: ‘They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.’ Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the ‘worst of the worst’, among other bravura works of literary journalism. The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Patrick+Radden+Keefe\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003ePatrick Radden Keefe\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patrick Radden Keefe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378656854179,"sku":"9781035001750","price":350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781035001750_80b3b449-0aa8-4a1c-b442-57357ec0dc48.jpg?v=1776517897"},{"product_id":"9781776391103","title":"The Most Evil of Them All","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost serial murderers undeniably spring from abusive or neglected childhoods, and\/or are potentially predisposed to various genetic, sociopathic or schizophrenic afflictions, rendering the root cause of their murderous behaviour a complex, lethal combination of factors.

Based on the massively successful Netflix documentary series of the same name, this book features ten of the most compelling cases from the first two series and is full of exclusive never-seen-before material. The authors, Ned Parker and Danny Tipping secured exceptional access to high-security prisons across America. The majority of the killers will die in prison – either by serving their sentence of life without parole or they are on Death Row, waiting to be executed. In each of the cases the inmate speaks openly about themselves and reflects on their life and their crimes. To gain a complete picture of the impact of the murders the authors spoke to both the families of both the perpetrators and the victims, and those in law enforcement who were involved in the case, leaving it up to the reader to make up their own mind about the killers and their crimes. The book draws on handwritten letters from the inmates and full transcripts of the interviews to tell each story, and features exclusive material including personal pictures, crime scene images, and original police and court documents, this is a fascinating and detailed look at some of America's most gripping murder cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Danny+Tipping\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDanny Tipping\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Ned+Parker\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eNed Parker\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Danny Tipping,Ned Parker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378719768739,"sku":"9781529065176","price":250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781529065176_ddc3cf53-28b6-4cce-a03b-315da6957bfb.jpg?v=1776562407"},{"product_id":"9781776095827","title":"The Profiler Diaries","description":"\u003cp\u003e'I wanted to write this book before I forgot the finer details.

An expert on serial murder and rape cases, Labuschagne saw it all in his fourteen and a half years in the SAPS. He walks the reader through the first crime scene he ever attended, his arrest of the Muldersdrift serial rapist, his experience as the head of the task team mandated to catch the Quarry serial murderer, his involvement with the Brighton Beach axe murders, and more. Despite often being stymied by a lack of resources, office politics and political interference, Labuschagne and his team were always determined to get their man - or woman, as in the Womb Raider case.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Profiler Diaries  is a fascinating - and often hair-raising - glimpse into what it was like to be a profiler in the world's busiest profiling unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+G%C3%A9rard+Labuschagne\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eGérard Labuschagne\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gérard Labuschagne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378824134819,"sku":"9781776095827","price":380.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781776095827_d1f27d76-e272-406c-ae1a-c03626c3c57d.jpg?v=1776580308"}],"url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/collections\/crime.oembed?page=3","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
