When was the last time somebody randomly accused you of murder?

Fresh from a research trip to Italy, Lisa Wilson adds her voice to the Meredith Kercher murder mystery. Together with South African photojournalist Nick van der Leek this True Crime Detective Team par excellence uncover a staggering number of inconsistencies, insights, errors and startling possibilities.

While DECEIT is a broad overview of the events leading up to the crime, DARK MATTER digs deeper into the five days of intense police investigation immediately following the discovery of the British exchange student murdered whilst sharing a house with Amanda Knox.

Not only are the suspects themselves under scrutiny, but also the inimitable prosecutor who took on the world famous case – Giuliano Mignini.

DARK MATTER, like DECEIT uncovers some intriguing insights buried just beneath the surface. Behind the veneer of endless statements to the police – Amanda makes nine separate statements over the course of a week, including an email to friends – something else stirs in the dark. Unbidden. Unseen. What is it? What is hidden in plain sight and yet remains invisible to us?

Why is it that Meredith’s friends are able to make one statement and then leave Perugia the next day, but Amanda and Raffaele can do neither? Amanda claims to want to remain in Perugia – she volunteers [she says] to HELP the police, because she wants to find justice for Meredith. But talk is cheap. How does Amanda really help the police? DARK MATTER follows the investigation step by step through the ancient medieval city.

The DARK MATTER narrative kicks off with the 28 Red Flags highlighted in the DECEIT narrative. The narrative systematically collates at least six separate incidents where Amanda and her beau are reprimanded outright by the police [over the course of just five days]. Over the same period five highly suspicious incidents emerge, along with a plethora of BLACK ASTERISKS. What is going on? What are they trying to hide?

In DARK MATTER readers are guided through a labyrinth by two true crime maestros at the top of their game. They take this case deeper and further than anyone has ever seen. The result is both chilling and stupefying.
