THE APPEAL

Oscar Pistorius

THE APPEAL is the 10th book by True Crime maestro's Lisa Wilson and Nick van der Leek. Along with extended interviews with Judge Chris Greenland, THE APPEAL is the first book to include detailed, firsthand conversations with both Reeva's parents and Tania Koen, the Steenkamp's family lawyer. For the first time freelance photojournalist Nick van der Leek literally rubs shoulders with Barry Roux and Gerrie Nel, and the media circus in the court room. California based True Crime blogger Lisa Wilson is also present at the verdict, and both authors provide not one but two very clear views of the case from inside the court room. In a groundbreaking chapter van der Leek also plumbs the depths of Oscar and Reeva's mysterious relationship. Why was it kept secret from not only friends, but family too? What was *actually* going wrong behind the scenes with these two rising stars? Wilson also recounts her journey through South Africa, not just to and inside the Appeals Court, but the road trip she makes with her co-author to Reeva's home town. This journey is colorfully portrayed not only via a narrative but also by hyperlinking to a large archive of actual photos and videos of the trip. In THE APPEAL the author's views in their preceding books are vindicated, however they caution that with justice within reach, could it be denied once more?
