“Not every bush conceals a talented new crime writer, and when one does emerge, it is truly cause for celebration. There are no stereotypically tormented detectives here. Louw writes with the precision of his legal background: factual, concise and stripped of unnecessary ornamentation. A thorough knowledge of the legal system and evidently meticulous research add an extra layer of credibility." Netwerk24
