News of a Kidnapping

Terrified of the new Colombian President’s determination to extradite him to America, Pablo Escobar found the best bargaining tools he could find were hostages. In the winter of 1990, ten relatives of Colombian politicians, mostly women, were abducted and held hostage as Escobar attempted to strong-arm the government into blocking his extradition. Two died, the rest survived, and from their harrowing stories Márquez retells, with vivid clarity, the terror and uncertainty of those dark an volatile months.
