Has Oscar Transcended justice? This is the question at the heart of this narrative. The problem is stated in the initial chapters courtesy of retired high court Judge Chris Greenland. A two hour interview with the Judge is analysed here and used as a jumping off point. On September 12 Greenland tweeted: "I join the whole world in lamenting this travesty of justice. The Court failed Reeva." We lament because it is yet another failure of the courts. But what about Reeva? And if justice is not to be found when the world is watching - as it has with the biggest story in modern media history - ...

Nobody knows who killed JonBenét Ramsey. Despite the efforts of Colorado’s legendary super sleuth Lou Smit, the JonBenét Ramsey case has – to the present date - defied demystification. Smit, who cracked over 200 cases and had a 90% success record, devoted the last years of his life to finding JonBenét’s killer. Smit died in 2010 having failed to solve this confounding case. 6 years later, despite massive media attention and widespread public scrutiny the most famous of cold cases remains unsolved. Now two rising stars of the true crime genre have put their heads together for their ...

Sensational, deviant, gruesome and explicit. There’s only one trial that trumps everything we’ve ever seen before in a courtroom. One trial that delivers in every department from shock value, to controversy, to erotica, to whopper-sized manipulation. That legal circus stocked with WTF’s belongs to none other than the Jodi Arias trial. Although Jodi takes center stage as the cold-blooded and shockingly haughty killer, in every main player in this narrative there is one characteristic that simply can’t be avoided and yes, it’s AUDACITY. The authors have concentrated their efforts in...

True Crime maestros Nick van der Leek and Lisa Wilson have had repeated requests from their fans to write about O.J. “The Juice” Simpson. For some time the authors themselves felt all there is to know about the trial, the “Dream Team” and the luckless prosecutors was already out there. But with O.J. himself up for parole in 2017, and with a ground-breaking new true crime TV anthology doing the rounds, van der Leek and Wilson have finally turned their scalpels and surgical analysis to THIS trial. They’ve since admitted to being astounded at the audacities and mendacities buried ...

“…where does the urge to kill come from and how do we get it if we don’t have it?...” The first narrative in The Day After Christmas Trilogy focuses on the events immediately following the discovery of JonBenét Ramsey’s small blonde six year old corpse. In this narrative the bestselling authors of The Craven Silence Trilogy attempt to prove the seemingly impossible.

The implications of these amendments to the canon are profound, hence...

What fictions do those in the dark hold onto? In this case, what was that fiction exactly? If the Juice was innocent, how could that be? What could possibly be an acceptable explanation? It certainly seemed that those who celebrated O.J.’s acquittal didn’t really care. The facts, the evidence, the law. Did any of that matter? Do they matter to you? This solid substrate is the substance of JUICE II. In JUICE doyens of true crime van der Leek and Wilson laid the groundwork leading up to the murders and the trial. In JUICE II they conduct a thoughtful interrogation of the key characters at...

WHITE HORSE II continues to investigate deep into the dark matter of the Oscar behind the Great Pretender. In this narrative the authors provide additional detail of Nick van der Leek's "secret meeting" with the prosecution, and additional information released after the fact. The authors also deconstruct the ITV Interview, and unsurprisingly, uncover some peculiarities not only in Oscar's additional narrative [his third version now] but in the documentary itself. Besides following a money trail, the authors present an even more horrifying backstory to never-before seen crime footage of ...

Nick van der Leek returns for another leg of his journey through the grotesque and Kafkaesque underbelly of the Oscar Pistorius pantomime. This time he takes readers on a detour on his way to covering Oscar’s “Date With Destiny” on July 6th, Pretoria from inside the courtroom. It’s a path you won’t see coming, and one that will leave you stirring uncomfortably in your chair is it unfolds. White Horse III examines the darkest spaces of the narcissistic mind, and showcases the agony that betrayal brings. Yet, we are all partially to blame. Our persistence in the belief that ...

"[Jodi Arias] is just a case like any other case in Maricopa County.” - Jennifer Willmott, Jodi's defense attorney Except it isn’t. We haven’t seen the level of brazen mendacity in this case in any other case. Remember, Jodi was on the stand for an unprecedented 18 days. We haven’t seen the level of fabricating evidence and fakery in any other case. We haven’t seen an orgy of evidence (photos, letters, blood, audio recordings) to this extent in any other case. And perhaps more pertinent than anything else, we haven’t seen a chameleon of Jodi Arias’ calibre in any other case. ...

Where civilization ends savagery begins...

WHITE HORSE covers the three days of unprecedented testimony in the Oscar Pistorius sentencing phase, witnessed first-hand by Nick van der Leek, who was accredited for the trial. Besides ground-breaking analysis and insights not only beyond the media narrative, but going much further than the court’s “intruder” narrative as well, the author – with a background in law – was also part of a “secret meeting” with the prosecution, regarding a “rogue witness”. The authors interrogate defense and prosecution witnesses in-depth; once again this is at a level of investigative ...

They're back! In FUGITIVE the rising stars of True Crime blast their spotlight back onto the skulking figure of Oscar Pistorius. In this trailblazing narrative, Wilson and van der Leek hit home with grueling analysis and a raft of groundbreaking chapters. The most radical is a swashbuckler titled INTENTIONALITY. By establishing a pattern of Oscar's intentionality over the course of his life, using 32 individual examples, the authors juxtapose the focused, purposeful and ambitious Blade Runner with Another Oscar - the anxious, uncertain interloper we saw sniveling and retching for the first ...

MENDACITY is a follow-up to the bestselling AUDACITY. Beyond Jodi’s failures it deals with the failures of Juror 17 to be honest not only towards her fellow jurors, but likely, even towards herself.
