From top cop to corrupt crook in six years – Jackie Selebi’s fall from grace came quick. After returning from exile, Selebi was one of the ANC’s acclaimed civil servants. In 1999 his friend Thabo Mbeki appointed him chief of police. And in 2004 Selebi became the world’s top cop when he was elected president of Interpol. Selebi was on top of the world, but not for long. The assassination of mining boss Brett Kebble in 2005 opened the door to South Africa’s dark side – a world where organised criminals tangoed with crooked cops and power, where money and greed ruled the day. How did a respectable man like Selebi get entangled in this web of deceit? In this gripping first account of Selebi’s rise and fall, award-winning investigative reporter Adriaan Basson probes the path that led to Selebi’s downfall. And he answers the key questions: How was the man trusted by 50 million people to protect them from criminals corrupted? What damage was caused to the country’s rule of law in an effort to save one deeply compromised man’s career? And what is the bigger meaning of the Selebi saga for South Africa’s democratic state?

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
