What truth is there in the Second Confession?In ANNIHILATION it was firmly established and reinforced that the scenario of the crime Chris Watts gave his interrogators during the Second Confession was a lie. The Watts children weren't killed after Shan'ann, and they weren't murdered at the well site. The murder was more calculated and cunning than Watts' has let on. It was premeditated. If it's clear Watts was lying yet again what remains to sift through in the Second Confession? What's left to unravel? Just these three questions: What truth IS there in the Second Confession?Where does this truth take us?When did the premeditation start, and what precisely started it?In OBLIVION Nick van der Leek does the difficult job of untying the knots and strands of veracity tied and tangled into all the lies. They're there, it's just a question of finding them, separating them, and figuring out what patterns they weave, and what the patterns mean.With each successive book in the TWO FACE series, the analysis goes deeper and darker, the insights become sharper and more finely tuned. OBLIVION is a more complex, challenging and complicated analysis than ANNIHILATION, and all the preceding narratives in the series. "It really is the most earth-shattering of the eight narratives, because what OBLIVION does is it finally completes the circle; the full circle means what is grasped is the full scale - the sheer dimensions - of the devastation of this tragedy.
In December 1962, nationalists in Brunei, the hugely wealthy small kingdom on the North Coast of Borneo, formed the Army of North Kalimantan (TNKU) and, demanding greater democracy, engineered a rebellion against the Sultan and seized a large number of hostages. Perceived to be an attempt by communists to destabilise the Sultanate and seize power, within twelve hours of its outbreak, British forces were despatched by ship and aircraft from Singapore to restore order, the first unit to arrive being 1/2nd Gurkhas, who entered the capital. Within the week, the 1 Queens Own Highlanders had recaptured the strategically important oilfields and occupied Seria, 42 Commando, Royal Marines attacked Limbang and 1 Green Jackets landed in west Brunei. The next six months were spent rounding up TNKU and, since there were major concerns that Indonesia could be behind the Revolt, the charismatic Major General Walter Walker, then commanding 17th Gurkha Division, was sent to Brunei to command operations. By mid-May 1963, the surviving TNKU had been captured. While rapidly suppressed, the Revolt was the catalyst for the three year Confrontation with Indonesia 1963-66.
In The Mau Mau Rebellion, the author describes the background to and the course of a short but brutal late colonial campaign in Kenya. The Mau Mau, a violent and secretive Kikuyu society, aimed to restore the proud tribe's pre-colonial superiority and rule. The 1940s saw initial targeting of Africans working for the colonial government and by 1952 the situation had deteriorated so badly that a State of Emergency was declared. The plan for mass arrests leaked and many leaders and supporters escaped to the bush where the gangs formed a military structure. Brutal attacks on both whites and loyal natives caused morale problems and local police and military were overwhelmed. Reinforcements were called in, and harsh measures including mass deportation, protected camps, fines, confiscation of property and extreme intelligence gathering employed were employed. War crimes were committed by both sides. As this well researched book demonstrates the campaign was ultimately successful militarily, politically the dye was cast and paradoxically colonial rule gave way to independence in 1956.
RESURRECTION saved the most vital clues - on MOTIVE - for last. REVELATIONS, the 4th in this series, does exactly the same. The last chapter, The Method and the Madness, is horrific, and terrifying. It is the author's attempt, together with Juror13, to provide a plausible scenario for what actually took place at 256 Bushwillow Crescent on Valentine's Day. This final part of the narrative has been assembled by contextualising all the evidence, testimonies and timelines. The author painstakingly provides over 50 references for each carefully considered set of variables. Together with America's Juror13, both writers build a very compelling scenario. But the REVELATIONS go even further than the final chapter. If the other chapter titles are anything to go by ('14 Unanswered Questions', 'Glass Houses', 'Sex Kitten', 'Sultans of Swing', ...) the 4th eBook ventures boldly where angels - and many South African journalists - fear to tread. And possibly for good reason. During the process of writing and researching REVELATIONS the author experienced strange computer instability and crashes. He believes his computer was consistently targeted and attacked over several weeks. The hacker (or hackers) deleted 5 folders of sensitive information before the author sent an email to a possible source of the hacking] warning that further attacks, and every subsequent deleted folder, would result in massive coverage across his social media networks. This email was not acknowledged, nor responded to, except the attacks and hacking ceased immediately after this email. Is there something the public isn't supposed to see? Is the media hiding something? Is there massive multi-level collusion in play? And who is the mysterious Juror13? Van der Leek digs deeper in REVELATIONS than ever...but, to what end? The author states that "Book four has been timed for release just prior to the State's presentation of final argument on August 7. '14 Questions' of vital importance have emerged, via my research. If we acknowledge their importance, but the state prosecutor, or the court, does not, we must ask, why not? Is it because the answers can't be found or can't be proven, or does it lie outside the courts jurisdiction, or is it because by asking these questions it puts counsel (and possibly even the court itself) in a bad light?" "As society we have an interest in this case" Van der Leek writes "and we need to be satisfied that the standards of the law and the standards of justice meet *our* standards. The law in fact is based in part on the modern or contemporary consensus of society; on what is socially acceptable, on our norms for behaviour, and on activating these when fine lines are crossed." "We're paying attention to this case because we want to understand why this terrible incident took place, and how this can - and does - happen, all too often. We live in a dangerous society. Just how dangerous is one of the key REVELATIONS in this narrative." "Just as the three chapters on motive were added at the last moment to complete RESURRECTION (following Peet Van Zyl's groundbreaking testimony), so too was REVELATIONS fast-tracked to become the fourth narrative in this series, rather than the fifth, as originally planned." "I want to make clear from the outset," Van der Leek writes, "that while RECIDIVIST ACTS and RESURRECTION both dealt exhaustively with all things Oscar, some of the chapters in REVELATIONS are not all about Oscar. And besides calibrating the merits of the case the reader will notice plenty of new REVELATIONS emerging. Many unsettling mysteries remain in our society, clinging and cloying to the fabric of society like burrs. They persist stubbornly alongside the unknowns of the Oscar trial narrative. The question - if we live in a just and equitable society - is why?" Van der Leek concludes that in the process of writing REVELATIONS "...some of the shockers I uncovered...shook me to the core."

The 6th narrative in the definitive TWO FACE series examines Nichol Kessinger's five interviews to law enforcement, while simultaneously interrogating the substantiveness of Chris Watts' confession. Hidden in the deception and lies are clues, leaks and psychological slips that reveal the true machinery of a monster's mind.
