Steeped in Blood by David Klatzow
For a very long period of time, Dr David Klatzow was the only independent forensic investigator in South Africa. During the apartheid years, a time of police brutality and state cover-ups, he was the man human rights lawyers called when they needed independent forensic evidence to uncover the truth. Klatzow's investigations into countless notorious cases, such as the Guguletu Seven, the Trojan Horse, the murders of human rights lawyer Bheki Mlangeni and activist Dr David Webster, and the bombing of Khotso House and Cosatu House, made him a controversial public figure. Hampered by the apartheid police and the legal system, he was always fearless and earned a reputation of being an 'ANC supporter', even though he always remained impartial. On a non-political level, he was instrumental in changing the testing mechanism for drunk driving in the 1980s and became an expert in fire investigations. One of his most enduring interests is uncovering the truth behind the Helderberg airplane crash. Through a detailed analysis of the findings of the Margo Commission of Inquiry and having sifted through all available evidence, he is convinced that the official version of the story is far from the truth. More recently, Klatzow investigated the Paarl Press fire, the assassination of Brett Kebble and the murder of Inge Lotz. Although some cases are still unsolved, for him a case is never closed. The truth is out there, and he will find it.
Before branching out into the world of forensic science, Dr David Klatzow was a lecturer in Biochemistry at the University of Durban-Westville and Medical Biochemistry at Wits University. He is an internationally recognised expert in the field of pyroforensics and an authority on blood alcohol. Sylvia Walker is a marketing manager in the financial services industry with a passion for writing and a keen interest in the world of crime. Her first book, Dealing in Death, was published in 2009 and focused on tik and the plight of parents who live with addiction.
