South African cases by advocate Harry Morris, K.C. such as Daisy de Melcker and the Sir Delvis Brougham murder trials are covered. The author, Benjamin Bennett was a well known South African crime writer. His prodigious output of books reflects a close involvement, as crime reporter, both at the crime scene and in the courtroom, where his professional life regularly took him, pen and notebook in hand. It is said that, for his insight, he was even consulted by the police for the solving of certain complex cases. He is credited with having posed the most plausible scenarios for enduring murder mysteries, such as that of Bubbles Schroeder.
