 ANDREW BROWN

Andrew BrownANDREW BROWN  lives and practises as an advocate in Cape Town, in the same High Court that previously heard his appeal against a prison sentence for public violence arising from confrontations with the police when he was a student at UCT and belonged to the UDF.

During 2004 he was appointed as an acting Judge in Criminal Appeals in the Cape High Court.  He has also served since 1999 as a reservist sergeant in the S A Police Service, working in the southern suburbs.

His first novel, Inyenzi, was about a priest’s dilemma during the Rwanda killings in 1994.  His second, Coldsleep Lullaby, a crime novel set in Stellenbosch past and present, won the Sunday Times Fiction Prize in 2006.  He is married with three children.
