About
the Book

In May 2025, Wilna Roux published her debut novel, Die Ooggetuie (The Eyewitness). The book was warmly received and described by bestselling crime author Deon Meyer as "a wonderful book".

Julia is a chamber attorney in Izak Marais's legal practice in Worcester. When Izak collapses the morning of a major court case, Julia has to step in and take over at short notice — despite having sworn she'd never set foot in a magistrate's court again. To make things more complicated, she's quietly convinced that the accused is guilty of murder.

This gripping courtroom drama is set in the Boland and is the first in a new series featuring legal professional Julia Blomerus.
