THE AMAZING CASE OF THE BARON VON SCHAUROTH.

Hardback. The murder of handsome and adventurous Baron Dieter von Schauroth near Cape Town in 1961, was one of South Africa's most bizarre crimes in the previous 25yrs. To many, some features of the case remained a mystery. Why did he insure his life for R400,000 in short-term policies? Did he induce 24yr-old film-struck Marthinus Rossouw, to shoot him and enrich his wife at the expense of the insurance companies? Or was it a murder for greed. What was the extent of the Baron's I.D.B. deals that led to meeting with "The Boss", a shadowy figure of Cape Town's underworld? The author examines all these baffling questions and provides the answers in the final chapter. Illus. 217pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Vg+ in frayed and sl. chipped G++ dw.
