The Noordhoek Ripper trial, as it was
called, captured the country's interest with its confessions of Satanism and its exposure
of random evil. One of the first South African rape survivors to speak to the media,
Alison has in recent years spoken to thousands of people around the country and
abroad. Alison's story was one of the first books of its kind to be published in
South Africa, a country where rape statistics are among the highest in the world and is an
invaluable survival guide. It has been classified as a best-seller in South Africa
and has continued to be so since publication.
