Samenvatting

A true detective story tracing the murder investigation of a human rights activist and Guatemalan bishop, with the plot twists and colourful characters of a Graham Greene novel. Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction.

'A multi-layered real-life whodunnit... Forensic and chilling.' Rory Carroll, Guardian



'Simply seethes with violent action and counter-action, conspiracy and intrigue.' Ciaran Cosgrove, Irish Times

On a Sunday night in 1998, Bishop Juan Gerardi, Guatemala's leading human rights activist, was bludgeoned to death. Two days earlier, a Church-sponsored report had implicated Guatemala's government in the disappearances of 200,000 civilians. The Church, feeling that it could not rely on the legal system, took the controversial decision to assemble a team of men, 'Los Intocables' (The Untouchables), to take down the killers.

The Art of Political Murder traces Los Intocables' struggle with the Guatemalan authorities to reveal the truth, uncovering the reality of youth gangs, political corruption and organised crime. Most of all, it is the story of an extraordinary group of courageous people and their fight for justice.

'A truly extraordinary book' George Rosie, Sunday Herald

'A hugely impressive account: passionate, involving and profoundly moving.' Peter Standford, Independent on Sunday

Two days earlier, a Church-sponsored report had implicated Guatemala's government in the disappearances of 200,000 civilians. The Church, feeling that it could not rely on the legal system, took the controversial decision to assemble a team of men, Los Intocables (The Untouchables), to take down Gerardi's killers.

In a gripping reconstruction, worthy of Graham Greene, Francisco Goldman traces Los Intocables struggle with the Guatemalan authorities to reveal the true story, uncovering the involvement of youth gangs, political corruption and organised crime. Most of all, he tells the story of an extraordinary group of courageous people and their fight for justice.
