An investigative report:

Atria, (2003). Read reviews or order this book safely from

Publishers Weekly has reviewed this book, saying that Mara "Leveritt,
who makes a strong argument that the convictions were a miscarriage of
justice, also suggests an alternative suspect: one victim's stepfather, who
had a history of domestic violence, yet was seemingly shielded by
authorities because he was a drug informant for local investigators. Sure to
be locally controversial, Leveritt's carefully researched book offers a
riveting portrait of a down-at-the-heels, socially conservative rural town
with more than its share of corruption and violence."

Writings in support of the WM3:
M.W. Anderson & Brett
Savory, "The last pentacle of the sun: Writings in support of the West
Memphis 3," Arsenal Pulp Press, (2004). Read reviews or order this

An Amazon.com reviewer described the Last Pentacle as "...a compelling mix
of fiction and non-fiction, with all money going to the West Memphis Three
Defense Fund." Another reviewer wrote: "Given the theme and tone of most
of The Last Pentacle of the Sun, it's surprising that it is not simply a dark
and depressing read with no positive qualities to recommend it. There is,
instead, sense of hope throughout that the tables will eventually turn and the
Three will be vindicated. Still, this is not a book that should be devoured in
one sitting. I would recommend, instead, grazing a few pieces at a time. This
will give the reader a chance to savor each piece on its own merits, and will
help to avoid injustice overload."
