“The Hawks are South Africa’s elite crime-fighting force who have put some of our worst criminals behind bars. Investigative journalist, Graham Coetzer, gives us a rare glimpse into this world. Each chapter looks at a different case and explores what happened – and for once, it’s good news! This is a celebration of the Hawks’ most impressive successes.

From busting the crooks behind the biggest cash heist in South African history to ending the reign of terror by a zama zama kingpin who hijacked a whole mine. Among their chilling investigations recounted here is the hunt for ruthless human traffickers and a cross-country race to apprehend a serial killer. This is an ode to the hard work and dedication of the best of our police service.

Devi Sankaree Govender said of Hunting with the Hawks – “Rare insight into the committed minds of the many who are holding up our criminal justice system, proving that all is not lost.”

Graham Coetzer is an award-winning South African investigative journalist and television producer. His work has taken him on many adventures across Africa. He won the National Press Club Journalist of the Year Award and was shortlisted for the prestigious Taco Kuiper Award, as well as the Global Shining Light Award. He lives in Pretoria.”
