From the Back Cover:

A MURDER THAT MADE INTERNATIONAL HEADLINES.

Did she or didn't she? That is the question that riveted the world during the sensational year-long trial of Amanda Knox, the American foreign-exchange student accused of killing her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, in Perugia, Italy.

THE FACTS―AND THE TRUTH―ABOUT THIS SHOCKING CASE.

Shortly after 12.30 p.m. on November 2, 2007, Italian police were called to the Perugia home that Meredith shared with Amanda. They found Meredith's lifeless body on the floor beneath a beige quilt. Her throat had been cut. Cash was missing. Was it a home invasion? Or something far more sinister? Amanda, along with her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, were both jailed. What role, if any, did they have in Meredith's murder? What was their relationship to Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast drifter whose DNA was found at the scene of the crime? Author John Follain, who covered the case and trial for the London Sunday Times, conducted more than a hundred firsthand interviews with law enforcement officials and family and friends of both the victim and the accused to bring us the most balanced and exhaustively researched account of this controversial case.



"IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THERE WILL BE A BETTER BOOK ON THE SUBJECT."―the observer



* Includes 8 pages of dramatic photos *

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Shortly after 1 pm on 2 November 2007, two police officers entered the home of the 21-year-old Meredith Kercher in the picturesque Italian town of Perugia. Inside, Kercher s half-naked body lay on the floor under a beige quilt. Her throat had been slashed. A week later, the prosecutor jailed Kercher s housemate Amanda Knox, a beautiful, star college student from Seattle, and Raffaele Sollecito, her Italian boyfriend. Later he also jailed Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast drifter. The prosecutor accused them of sexually abusing then murdering Kercher in a perverse, drug-fuelled sex game. The family of Amanda Knox describes her as a wholesome girl-next-door. The media labelled her Foxy Knoxy , a man-eating cold-blooded murderess. So who is the real Amanda Knox, and is she a killer? This is the unrivalled account of an investigation and trial full of astonishing twists and turns, based on access to the complete, 10,000 page files of the judicial and police probe including Knox s diary, as well as exclusive interviews with investigators, lawyers, and family and friends of the accused and of the victim. John Follain seeks to answer the questions who killed Meredith, how, and why? John Follain, who covers Italy for the Sunday Times, tells the definitive inside story of this extraordinary case.
