UNDER SUSPICION: The Meredith Kercher Murder Mystery

In the third ground-breaking book in their series on Amanda Knox, Wilson and van der Leek have done it again! In UNDER SUSPICION they dig out brand new insights that others have overlooked eight years after the original trial. Using powerful detective tools including pattern recognition, graphology, systematic cross-referencing and good-old deep analysis, the SHAKEDOWN TEAM do what they’re supposed to do – they deliver the goods.

Other major themes visited in this narrative are the impact [if any] of the occult on one of the most grotesque crimes to ever occur in Perugia. The possible involvement [or complicity] of Knox’s and Sollecito’s families are examined, along with the inability of both Knox and Sollecito to adapt to prison life an
