I am a South African novelist, short story writer, biographer, historical and investigative writer. I grew up in Johannesburg and later Limpopo, where I finished my high school. I studied Chemistry, Business Administration as well as Labour Relations at the University of South Africa, and worked as a lab chemist for 16 years. My first literary work was a collection of short stories which appeared in 1986. Since then I have written over 10 books that are available both in paperback and ebook format. I had success with two award winning stories, "The Good Samaritan" and "The Journey," that scooped prizes in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Of course writing is not my only occupation. As a qualified chemist, I manage a company which supplies chemicals and laboratory equipment to various sectors.
Judge Jansen van der Schyff had made a lot of enemies in his long career.
Upon retirement he decided to throw himself a birthday party.
And invite close friends and family.
The birthday lunch culminated in his murder, that took Chief Detective Swart
from pillar to post as he fumbled to make sense of the numerous clues.
The age-old question remained – who killed the judge?
But death is no welcome joke...
Especially for Solly ka Afrika, a former disgraced investigative journalist.
When he accepts an invitation to Judge Jansen's 80th birthday lunch party in
Johannesburg, he thought he was paying homage to an old friend.
The judge had the displeasure of hosting a right-wing brother whom he had
never seen or spoken to for 42 years... and a bitter, rich businessman whose
divorce case he had presided over.
As the guests congregate at the lunch table to sing for the judge,
something terrible happened....
Suddenly, the old judge slumped head-first into his birthday cake
– seriously dead!
Someone shouted, It's heart attack!
And Lucy, the judge's wife cried, Solly! Do something!
Solly looks at all the guests – a strange bunch that annoys him, and somehow
believes that the accident was staged. He finds himself in the midst of
an unwelcome death... or was it murder?
Solly ka Afrika is disappointed that his hosts had invited him to drive 300
kilometres not as a guest of honour, but as a guest for death.
