  • Mara Leveritt is an American investigative reporter and author best known for examining the interaction of politics and criminal justice in certain serious crimes. Her book The Boys on the Tracks, about the unsolved murders of two teenage boys, has been called "a wrecking-ball tale of tragedy, malfeasance, and machine politics" and "one of the most important examples of investigative journalism in modern Arkansas history." Devil's Knot, the case of teenagers known as the West Memphis Three who were convicted of murdering three young boys, was "a riveting portrait of a down-at-the-heels, socially conservative rural town with more than its share of corruption and violence" and "an indictment of a culture and legal system that failed to protect children as defendants or victims." Publishers Weekly called her book Dark Spell a "powerful look at how the wrong agenda can thoroughly undermine the justice system." (en)
