Book Talk: 'Bait: To catch a killer' by Janine Lazarus | News Article

Calling all true crime fanatics! OFM Nights' Renaldo Schwarp is joined by Janine Lazarus to chat more about her memoir.

Lazarus made her name as an investigative journalist back in the early 1990s. One of the most famous cases she reported was the Norwood serial rapist-killer, Kobus Geldenhuys, whom she became obsessed with.

Her memoir, 'Bait: To catch a killer' is a riveting behind-the-headlines true-crime memoir with a most unusual twist; the book explores fascinating newsroom ethics and questionable police procedures, while delving into the power relationship between a reporter, an editor, and a serial killer who is oh-so-close.
