HONOR BOUND

Raffaele Sollecito was a 23-year old Italian student when he met Amanda Knox in Perugia, Italy, two weeks before the horrific murder of Meredith Kercher, an event that would change his life forever. Originally found guilty of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison, Sollecito and Knox were both freed in October 2011 after their convictions were overturned on appeal.

Sollecito was an unwilling participant in a case that riveted the world. The Italian media convicted the young couple before any evidence had even been heard. Over and over, Sollecito came under pressure to change his testimony and get himself off the hook, but he refused to betray Amanda and he refused to lie. In PRESUMED GUILTY, Sollecito will finally tell his side of the story—from his first meeting with Amanda Knox, to his arrest, prison time, subsequent release, and current relationship with the woman he stood by through the worst ordeal of both their lives.

Jennifer Bergstrom, Vice President and Editor-in-Chief of Gallery Books, said "Raffaele Sollecito is a young man who spent four years in prison standing up for a woman he had known for a few weeks. I’m fascinated by his story and I think readers will be too.”
