Death in Perugia: The Definitive Account of the Meredith Kercher case from her murder to the acquittal of Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox - Softcover
Shortly after 12.30pm on 2 November 2007, Italian police were called to the Perugia home of 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher. They found her body on the floor under a beige quilt. Her throat had been cut. Four days later, the prosecutor jailed Meredith's flatmate American student Amanda Knox, and Raffaele Sollecito, her Italian boyfriend. He also jailed Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast drifter. Four years later Knox and Sollecito were acquitted amid chaotic scenes in front of the world's media. Uniquely based on four years of reporting and access to the complete case files, Death In Perugia takes readers on a riveting journey behind the scenes of the investigation, as John Follain shares the drama of the trials and appeal hearings he lived through. Including exclusive interviews with Meredith's friends and other key sources, Death in Perugia reveals how the Italian dream turned into a nightmare.

Review:
Praise for THE LAST GODFATHERS:
'Detailed, persuasive, the right side of lurid, this is compelling.' (Telegraph)
'More detail and more gruesome colour than in any previous account. Follain musters this material with great skill into a compelling narrative. At the heart of the book there are two epic battles...an epic of modern police work and Follain brings it vividly to life.' (Independent)
'There’s something disturbingly gripping about the relentless blood-spilling, feuds and betrayals; men taking life as breezily as if they were lifting a piece off a chessboard.' (Tobias Jones, Mail on Sunday)
‘Although the story has often been told, Follain brings real suspense to its retelling. His prose is gripping.’ (Misha Glenny, The Sunday Times)
'A terrific read...John Follain portrays the escalating savagery of Cosa Nostra's most notorious bosses with compelling rigour and verve.' (John Dickie, author of Cosa Nostra)
'A scintillating mixture of history, true crime and whodunnit, told both with restrained moral anger and the fascinating insights of the leading expert in his field. This well-researched, hard-hitting book is a fitting epitaph for the courageous Judge Falcone... Compulsively readable' (Andrew Roberts)

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.
