Welcome. My upcoming
book, MURDER IN
ITALY: The Shocking Slaying of a British Student, the Accused American Girl, and an International Scandal, will appear in 2010 (Penguin: Berkley Publishing Group). It's about the November 1, 2007, killing of Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, and her accused roommate, American college student Amanda Knox. The book will appear in May 2010 and is available for pre-order on Amazon. Murder in Italy grew out of my blog, "Italian
Woman at the Table." Hosted by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, it's been featured on Newsweek.com, Martha Stewart Living Radio, Corriere Della Sera and Oggi. I've discussed the Kercher case on CNN, Italian TV, and KOMO 4 News in Seattle, my hometown.
