Wow, what a read! Carefully researched and creatively written, I found this book to be an absolute winner. If ever there'd been a nagging question as to this shooting being an accident, these two authors have put that squarely to bed! Delving deeply into Oscars life, revealing what makes him 'tick', his frailties and fears, but much more importantly, his absolute resolve to 'fix them' (cover them up), has allowed these two to construct a narrative that ultimately arrives, and directly ties into, the shooting on that fateful Valentines morning. It becomes apparent to the reader that Oscar did little that wasn't INTENDED. This reality even existing from a very early age. 

 

 The reader gains insight into how Oscars' response to these issues made him sell out long ago, and the authors lay bare Oscars mission, one where weaknesses are never allowed to show, that is until they regretfully surfaced in the most grotesque way possible, ending the life of Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp. This is a must read for trial junkies (legal info also included on upcoming appeal), those who enjoy the study of the human condition, or those who'd just like to better understand 'who' Oscar Pistorius was. 

 

During this trial and even now, I'd often myself wondered just how this guy who seemingly had it all, now sits in a cell convicted of homicide. Fugitive answered my question! Congrats and many thanks to Nick van der Leek and Lisa Wilson on authoring another stunning book, and please, please, write another!

"The public deserve to read [the Oscar Pistorius Trial eBook series]. Nobody could have done it the way you did.  They're genius. - Maggie Taylor, via Whatsapp

"Holy crap it is awesome!!! You have captured so much of what so many believe and hypothesize about on Twitter. Btw did you know there were a pair of jeans lying outside on the pathway outside the bathroom window (he said he heard what sounded like the window opening?) Your theory of her going to the bathroom to use the phone would fit in with the jeans being thrown out for her escape-. She could pretend she was going downstairs to get something to eat and then make a run for it. 

Your theory is great and makes perfect sense.

The bursary idea is great and there are many people out there who would love to see that happen and help it come to reality. I will certainly want to be involved in some way. Well done Nick - I don't think it's megalomaniac at all! - Terry Wittwen, via email
