Description: Bitter Dawn. A search for the truth about the murder of Anni Dewani

Bitter Dawn: A search for the truth about the murder of Anni Dewani is the result of over three years of research, a period of time during which Dan Newling interviewed dozens of people, rifled through thousands of official documents and spent months listening to seemingly interminable legal argument in British and South African courtrooms. Most of the facts and claims contained within these pages come either from on the record sources or from material that is already in the public domain.

For reasons of accountability he has tried to identify the precise origin of all such information both in the main body of text in this book and also in each chapter's endnotes. This book also contains, however, a significant amount of material obtained on an off the record basis. The material is mostly from interviews with people conducted on condition that their identities not be published. Dan Newling has, in these cases, taken extra care to verify the information's truth and have, in each chapter's endnotes, described this material as originating from 6 author interviews with investigation sources'.

In a related point, he says that no one from Shrien Dewani's family or from Anni Dewani's family would agree to be interviewed by him, on the record, for this book. The other notable people to have declined his requests for on the record interviews were the relevant officials from the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). Both organisations informed him that it would constitute a breach of the law for officials who are actively involved in a case to talk publicly about it before that case has been tried.
