FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
In a statement, Harper Collins said: “Knox will give a full and
unflinching account of the events that led to her arrest in Perugia and her
struggles with the complexities of the Italian judicial system.
“Aided by journals she kept during her imprisonment, Knox will talk about
her harrowing experience at the hands of the Italian police and later prison
guards and inmates.
“She will reveal never before-told details surrounding her case, and
describe how she used her inner strength and strong family ties to cope with
the most challenging time of her young life.”
HarperCollins refused to confirm how much 24-year-old Knox will be paid for
the book, but insiders suggested it was at least seven figures, and probably
close to $4 million (£2.5).
Twenty publishers had expressed an interested in the memoir before her
representatives held an auction this week. Knox met with seven executives –
all of whom bid for the book.
Jonathan Burnham of HarperCollins said that Knox had studied creative writing
in college, and would be writing the book herself with the help of an
unnamed collaborator. Her editor is Claire Wachtel, who has worked with the
crime novelist Dennis Lehane.
Since her return from Perugia, Knox has kept a low profile, spending much of
her time working on the memoirs in her home town of Seattle.
She retained the services of Robert B. Barnett, a Washington lawyer who has
brokered book deal for a number of big names, including President Barack
Obama, President Bill Clinton and former vice presidential candidate Sarah
Palin.
Several publishers invited to meet Knox told the New York Times earlier this
week that she had cut an impressive figure, appearing relaxed and speaking
knowledgably about literature and her desire to become a writer.
A number of booksellers expressed reservations, however, about how well the
memoirs would sell, given Knox’s notoriety.
During her captivity, she was largely viewed in her own country an innocent
victim of the chaotic Italian judicial system.
In both Britain and Italy, however, Knox is seen rather differently, with some
suggesting that she got away with murder.
She became notorious during the early investigation into Miss Kercher’s death
after it emerged that she had turned a cartwheel in the police station soon
after the murder, and was captured on television kissing Sollecito
passionately. He is also said to be preparing to sell a book about the crime
in Italy.
Miss Kercher’s family had called on Knox not to publish her story – her father
called the American’s release from jail “ludicrous”.
