When rising defence lawyer Chelsea Turner takes on a high-profile murder case, she expects a challenging trial. What she doesn’t expect is to discover that her client, the successful businessman Joel Radebe, has a haunting link to her own childhood tragedy - a politically motivated bombing in 1988 which radically changed the course of her life. Struggling with a deep personal conflict, Chelsea steps back from leading the defence, but her instincts tell her there’s more to the case than meets the eye.

Her colleague, Kaylin Adams, takes over the lead, unaware that she too is more connected to the past than she realises. As the two women unravel the threads of the present-day murder, they are forced to confront buried histories, shifting loyalties, and the murky line between justice and revenge. The case against Radebe appears strong - but no weapon has been found, the evidence is circumstantial, and witnesses seem compromised. As new truths surface and alliances are tested, the defence team begins to suspect a sinister manipulation at play.

Set thirty years after the end of apartheid, Legally Blind explores the shadows that linger long after political conflict ends. Can justice ever be truly impartial? What do we owe the past - and each other - in our search for the truth?

Henning van Aswegen skryf volkstories en kinderverhale oor die Vrystaat se hartlike mense en interessante diertjies wat hy tydens sy ongebonde grootwordjare langs Virginia se magtige Sandrivier teëgekom het.

In Vrystaatstories ontmoet die leser vir Mossieman en Geronkie die Donkie wat die niksvermoedende inwoners van die Vrystaat onderwerp aan avonture en poetse, meesal met onvoorspelbare en humoristiese gevolge.

Elke storie en elke skets is oorspronklik, uniek en humoristies – en is geskik vir kinders van 8-80 jaar.

Kinders leer om nie ander kinders af te knou nie (bullying); om kinders en diere met respek te behandel, om teen niemand te diskrimineer nie, en nie lelik en afbrekend met ander te praat nie.

Selfs die kleinste diertjies in die stories soos Mys die Muis, Spinne Spinnekop en ‘n Dowe Paddatjie word met respek en empatie behandel.

In Vrystaatstories word lesers deel van die karakters se koeterwaals en manewales!

Op die oog af is dié roman ’n storie oor ’n goeie dokter en ’n slegte polisieman. Want ’n bosluisbyt aan die polisieman Frans Schuin lei onverwags tot ’n tydperk van verwarring by die plattelandse dokter Gustav van Aardt. Van Aardt is een van die volrondste personasies wat in baie jare in ’n Afrikaanse roman na vore getree het, en wat so heerlik is van sy uitbeelding is dat hy so nugter as ’n feilbare, onsekere volwassene geskets word. Die leser sien deur Van Aardt se oë - maar soos ons mettertyd agterkom, is daar nie werklik uitsluitsel oor die dinge wát hy sien nie. Is dit drogbeelde of werklike visuele waarnemings? En gaan hy mettertyd vrede maak met sy plek op die aarde?

Die titel van dié fassinerende roman deur die skrywer van Kamphoer kan op baie dinge slaan; onder meer op die verlies van alle sekerheid, selfs op die kleinste vlak. Dit sê eindelik baie oor die transformasie wat Suid-Afrika besig is om te ondergaan, uit die oogpunt van ’n hoogs gekultiveerde wit man.
