Compared to writers Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa and Carlos Fuentes, author Francisco Goldman weaves together meticulous research with personal narrative to give a riveting account of the infamous murder of Guatemalan Bishop Juan Gerardi. Bishop Gerardi was killed in his home days after the release of his human rights report linking US-supported Guatemalan security forces to the torture, disappearances and deaths of over 200,000 Guatemalans through the 1980s and 90s.
