The incredible true story of a woman who risked everything to put her brother, a murderous psychopath and one of the world's most infamous crime bosses, behind bars. Astrid Holleeder is in hiding because she had the courage to write this book. Her brother Willem Holleeder, best known for his involvement in the 1983 kidnapping of the CEO and chairman of Heineken brewing company, is one of the most notorious criminals in contemporary history. For decades, Wim ruled over his family mafia-style, threatening death if any of them betrayed him. Astrid and her sister, Sonja, watched as their brother eliminated anyone who got in his way, and they lived in terror of inciting his rage, unable to protect even their own young children from his violence. Trained as a lawyer, Astrid served as her brother's unwilling confidante. Now, she's turning the tables on him. Charged for his involvement in multiple assassinations, including that of his former partner and brother-in-law, Holleeder is finally on trial for murder, all due to the shocking testimony of his own family. An international bestseller that has sold more than 500,000 copies in Holland, this stunning, edge-of-your seat memoir chronicles Astrid's terrifying experience working as a double agent, preserving her brother's trust just so that she could get enough information to put him away for life. Judas is the intimate account of Astrid's deeply personal betrayal, set against the backdrop of their haunting family history and the astonishing world of the criminal underground.

The discovery of a complete manuscript of the Gospel of Judas in a New Haven basement threatens to uncover a secret religious sect that has been growing underground for two millennia-a brotherhood active, dangerous, and determined to remain a secret. The murders begin on the eve of the manuscript's dedication at the esteemed Yale Divinity School's international conference. At first the targets are British and American scholars. But as the body count escalates, Scotland Yard and the FBI begin to suspect that the brotherhood has a much larger plan of destruction in mind. Detective Isabella O'Leary teams with scholar Paul St. Clair in an electrifying search for the killers, and answers to ancient questions. "Finally, a mystery novel about a secret sect that is written well and compellingly. The Judas Conspiracy is smart and intelligent and true to its sources of inspiration. Williams knows church history and biblical scholarship and she uses both to write a tight, convincing thriller. I love The Judas Conspiracy " Dale Peterson, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Yale Divinity School "Move over Dan Brown. I was hooked from the first page of The Judas Conspiracy, and the action never stopped, as secrets were revealed right up to the unexpected surprises at the end. Read Leslie Williams' gem of a book."
