SYNOPSIS, BLURB...: An interesting collection of crimes from the South African writer, recounting police investigations and unrecorded incidents at the trials as leading barristers and detectives discuss their cases with him. Albert George Carr tells the author of his feelings when he was sentenced to death - the only man in South Africa to step straight into freedom from the shadow of the gallows. Also includes the first full account of the career of William Foster, South Africa's Public Enemy Number One who terrorised the Rand before his macabre death in a cave.
Knackered.
