Little Ice Cream Boy - Jacques Pauw

Published by Penguin Group, 2009, softcover, 387 pages, condition: as new.

'The street was quiet and deserted ...a few yellow leaves fluttered to the ground and a brilliant blue sky beckoned through skeletal branches. It was a perfect day for murder.' From the photograph she keeps beside her bed, Maria Goosen will always remember her son as her 'little ice cream boy', smiling from the frame on a beach in Margate with a cone in his hand. Everyone else knows Gideon Goosen as a monster: a gangster, assassin and murderer, who made a pact with the devil and deserves to live out his days in a solitary cell in Pretoria Central. How is it possible that the son of a decorated, God-fearing security policeman could fall so low?
