Book Revue Series (Part 9): Amanda Knox: A case of flagrant miscarriage of justice which struck an international nerve: A compendium of books, documentaries and much more, thanks to the website 'Injustice anywhere' which describes itself as "a website about the murder of Meredith Kercher and a scandalous miscarriage of justice." (A real treasure-chest of materials on the case. HL)

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: PUBLISHER'S NOTE: In the roughly 10 years since I began publishing The Charles Smith Blog some of the issues I have explored - as well as some of the cases I have been following - have become the subject matter of books. This prompted me recently - as I searched anxiously for ways of keeping me occupied during the languid summer hours - other than sitting on the patio, drinking a cool glass of white wine, and reading the latest Steven King - it occurred to me that a book review series based in my previous posts from the outset of the Blog would be just what the pathologist ordered. I would invite my readers to offer me their own suggestions  for inclusion by email to hlevy15@gmail.com. Have a great summer.
