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.

Die moord op twee pragmeisies in hul skoolkoshuis vroeg op ’n wintersoggend in 2018 het die hegte boeregemeenskap van Stella in Noordwes onherroeplik getraumatiseer. Die ysingwekkende feite van die saak het trouens die hele Suid-Afrika geruk. Xander Bylsma (19), ’n aantreklike boerseun van die omgewing, is aangekla van die wrede wurgmoorde op die sprankelende Sharnelle Hough en Marna Engelbrecht, ’n skrander donkerkop. Watter intriges het tot die moord gelei? En hoe leef die gesinne van drie belowende en geliefde jong mense met die gevolge van ’n grudaad in ’n gemeenskap van vervlegte lewens? Susan Cilliers, skrywer van die topverkoper Huis van Gruwels, skryf indringend oor die vrae wat ná die hofsaak onbeantwoord bly, oor lewens vernietig in hul fleur en oor die moontlikheid van berusting en vergifnis.
