After a string of police botches, Captain Ben Bliksem Booysen took on the Krugersdorp Killers' case in 2016. The state had failed to make any arrests since the killing spree began in 2012, terrorising the inhabitants of the West Rand town. By the time Booysen took over, 11 people had been brutally murdered by a group calling themselves Electus Per Deus. The son of a miner, who was all too fond of the bottle and the fist, nothing about Ben's bleak upbringing put him in stead to crack one of South Africa's biggest murder cases. Yet driven by a deep sense of justice, Booysen made headlines when he arrested Cecilia Steyn, the mastermind behind the heinous killings, along with her five accomplices. Written in collaboration with Sunday Times journo Nicki Gules, Booysen divulges shocking details of massive police incompetence, while exposing sensational new information around the killers, their crimes and life in prison, in this twisted tale that's kept the nation on edge for a decade.
