.Benjamin Bennett presents this interesting collection of South African true crime stories featuring murders, killings, and famous trials. 


Benjamin Bennett (1907-1985) was a well known South African crime writer. He worked as a journalist with the Cape Argus newspaper from 1925 to 1975, as a crime reporter, and subsequently as news editor and finally editor of Argus Action. He was born in London, England and emigrated with his family to Kimberley, South Africa, in 1912. He was educated at Kimberley Boys' High School.


Bennett's 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.
