John Kercher, the father of Meredith Kercher — a British woman whose 2007 murder in Italy caused headlines around the world — has a new book coming out at the end of this month called Meredith: Our Daughter’s Murder and the Heartbreaking Quest for the Truth.
Amanda Knox, Kercher’s American roommate who stood trial and was convicted, then exonerated for the murder six months ago, is working on a memoir for HarperCollins about the experience. The book, which fetched about $4 million, is slated for release next year. Knox’s Italian ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, who was also convicted and then released, has a memoir coming out from Galley Books this fall.
The Sun UK has more about Kercher’s new book: “It has been billed as ‘a father’s story of losing a beloved daughter, and the first account of the torment the family have suffered and their ongoing quest for justice’.”
