Belling said members of the community should diarise the date and join her at the Clive M Beck Auditorium in the Rabbi Cyril Harris Community Centre in Houghton.
The launch is scheduled to start at 6pm.
In the book, Belling tells the story of retired paediatric oncologist, Prof. Cryril Karabus’ nine-month fight to prove his innocence after being charged with manslaughter and forgery following the death of a patient in Abu Dhabi in 2002 when Karabus was a locum.
Karabus was arrested and imprisoned in Dubai while on his way home from his son’s wedding in Canada in August 2012. According to him, at the time of his arrest he was unaware of the charges and trial in his absence, and his conviction by an Abu Dhabi court.
During a recent launch held at Sandton’s Summer Place, Karabus explained how shocked he was when he was arrested at the airport, and also by being called a murderer. He described his two-month period in jail before he was released on bail and the following seven-month stay in Abu Dhabi. “I was often unaware of what was happening during my 21 court appearances, as no translator was provided. In March 2013, I was finally acquitted of the charges, but was only allowed to return to South Africa two months later,” said Karabus.
