Killer's Kraal by James Ansun Buck is about the Jungle Queen Sheena and her fight to fend for herself and survive in the African wilderness. Excerpt: "SHEENA dropped from the branches of a gigantic, spreading baobab and started to climb the rocky krantz, leaping lightly from boulder to boulder. She was so well balanced that she appeared to flow, without particularized motion, in whatever direction her energy proposed; and she moved with incredible swiftness, her bronzed limbs flashing in the sun, her golden hair streaming behind."

‘Serial killers experience the power over life and death as omnipotence … When I interrogate a serial killer, I dive into the abyss of his soul.’ From 1994 to 2000, when South Africa was a young democracy, the country was stalked by a succession of brutal serial killers. Psychologist Micki Pistorius became the first profiler for the South African Police Service, playing a vital role in identifying and interrogating these killers, as well as training detectives nationally and in other countries. She broke ground with her theory on the origin of serial killers and is considered a trailblazer in her field. Catch Me a Killer details the cases she worked on – from the Station Strangler and the Phoenix Cane Killer to Boetie Boer and the Saloon Killer. The book also features legendary detectives such as Piet Byleveld and Suiker Britz, as well as the FBI’s Robert Ressler. Released alongside a major TV series based on the book, this new edition of Catch Me a Killer includes a new chapter and up-to-date information about some of the cases, such as the parole of Norman Afzal Simons in 2023. This is essential reading for all true crime aficionados.

Days before the outbreak of WWII in Europe, amidst the magnificent mansions and rolling lawns of Newport, Rhode Island, a young woman is murdered. A local man is arrested, but Detective Josh Tyler is convinced that the killer is Heinrich Kraal, visiting guest speaker at the 'American First Committee' symposium and rising star of Hitler's Reich. In an unlikely alliance with enigmatic lawyer Kristen von Nagel, Tyler discovers that Kraal is linked to similar murders on previous U.S. visits. However, any chance of pursuing a case against Kraal disappears following Pearl Harbour, when Germany declares war on the USA. Three and a half years later, with Russian troops pouring into Berlin, Kraal contacts the Americans and agrees to travel to the US to stand trial for the murder. Dispatched as the arresting officer, Tyler arrives in the ravaged German capital and finds that Kraal is a Russian prisoner. And his problems are just beginning.
