The story drew an international cult obsessed with \"Foxy Knoxy,\" a pretty honor student on a junior year abroad, who either woke up one morning into a nightmare of superstition and misogyny-the dark side of Italy-or participated in something unspeakable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Fatal Gift of Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e is Nina Burleigh's literary investigation of the murder, the prosecution, and the conviction and twenty-six-year sentence of Knox.
