Dale Justus was a new employee of the United States Postal Service on July 21, 1986. His new job as a rural mail carrier at the post office in Edmond, Oklahoma, assured him great opportunities for the future. It would be nearly a month later, on August 20, that City Letter Carrier Patrick Henry Sherrill came to work with three guns in his mail bag and used two of them to massacre fourteen of his fellow workers and seriously wound six others before taking his own life. Justuss secure future almost ended after only thirty days on the job. There have been several accounts of what happened on that blackest day in the history of the postal service. Some accounts have offered incomplete portions of the truth, but most of these were written by those with no personal knowledge of the facts. It has taken twenty-five years for someone to write a thoughtful, factual account about this unspeakable tragedy. Walk with Justus as he recounts a story that begins years before that fatal day and extends well past the actual event. Experience the terror and unfathomable aftermath with him and the other employees who were at the Edmond Post Office on that fateful day.

The Great Post Office Scandal is the extraordinary story behind the recent ITV drama series Mr Bates vs The Post Office. This gripping page-turner recounts how thousands of subpostmasters were accused of theft and false accounting on the back of evidence from Horizon, the flawed computer system designed by Fujitsu, and how a group of them, led by Alan Bates, took their fight to the High Court. Their eventual victory in court vindicated their claims about the defects of the software and exposed the heavy handed attempts by the Post Office to suppress them. The book also chronicles how successive senior managers, business leaders, lawyers, civil servants and Government ministers, at best failed to expose the injustice or, even worse, sought to cover it up, resulting in one of the largest miscarriages of justice in UK history. The author, Nick Wallis, is a journalist and broadcaster who has been reporting on the scandal for over ten years and who acted as script consultant on Mr Bates vs The Post Office, the ITV drama that brought the affair into the national consciousness. As the public inquiry reaches its climax, and senior figures such as Paula Vennells come to be questioned, The Great Post Office Scandal reveals the full scale of what happened and will leave you enraged at how so many of our trusted institutions allowed the saga to go on for nearly a quarter of a century, shattering the lives of thousands of innocent people.

This book is an expose into the tragedy that occurred at the Royal Oak Post Office on November 14, 1991. Accounts within this story are very complex due to so many government agencies being involved and attempting to whitewash this travesty. My story reflects twelve years of my life as a union steward representing letter carriers, investigating one of the oldest Federal agencies and finding the extremes they would take in order to protect a system and those within the system from any liabilities. This book was also written in hope of preventing any other avoidable tragedies, and to explain why there is a need for ACCOUNTABILITY!

What really transpired on the upper storey of Number 286 in the Silver Woods Estate of Pretoria on the night of St. Valentine's Day 2013? What did happen in the luxury ensuite bathroom of Oscar Pistorius' master bedroom? "She died in my arms," a distraught Oscar heartbrokenly and tearfully told police. They returned to arrest him later for pre-meditated murder, though he claimed he had mistaken his beautiful model lover Reeva Steenkamp for a burglar. Violent crime and home invasion is a real problem in South Africa; but Oscar's home was in a secure, guarded and gated estate. He had two large dogs on his property as well, who would have barked and alerted him to the presence of intruders. Still, a man with prostheses such as the legendary Blade Runner had, would feel vulnerable to attack...... Pamela Valemont, crime research numerologist of more than 35 years, goes on the search for clues at the scene of the alleged crime using her uniquely different set of detective tools. What she finds will astound you.
